Supporting Children With Additional Needs

We are committed to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our school is inclusive, and we work hard to make sure every child feels safe, supported and able to learn.

We provide help for children with a wide range of needs. This includes support with learning, communication, behaviour and social development. Our staff work closely with parents and outside professionals to understand each child’s needs and provide the right support. We want every child to feel confident, make progress and take part fully in school life.

At North Star Community Trust we believe that all teachers are teachers of pupils with special educational needs.

Students with SEND attending our schools can expect classroom teachers and form tutors to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ in their quality first teaching so that all students are learning together.

Some young people with more complex needs will have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which will detail more specific provision for individual needs. Teachers will ensure that the curriculum is further differentiated to support exceptional needs within their classroom and give students opportunities to work independently or with their peers. On some occasions professionals from external support agencies will be invited in to support the school in meeting your child’s SEND.

“We endeavor to help every child make as much progress as possible and develop their full potential irrespective of their level of need and the barriers to learning they might encounter”.

SEND Support

If you think your child might have SEND, please discuss this with their teacher in the first instance or you may be contacted if the school feel your child needs SEND support. Your views and involvement are important to us. The home and school working together will give your child the best chance to achieve their full potential. For more information please see our SEND Policy and information report below.
