Special Educational Needs
We offer many programmes to support our pupils’ individual developmental needs, whether these are in speech, motor co-ordination, social skills or specific learning areas. Our Special Educational Needs co-coordinator is our headteacher, Mrs Jen Harvey.
Admission of disabled pupils is through the West Sussex admissions procedures. However, the school would work closely with parents and the relevant agencies to ensure appropriate resources were available.
There is ramp access to the mobile classrooms with toilet facilities that are more easily accessible to disabled pupils than those in the main school building.
The school takes all reasonable steps to prevent disabled pupils being treated less favourably than other pupils and seeks advice from other professionals.
Arrangements for handling complaints from parents of children with SEN about the school's support are within the scope of the school's complaints procedure. Where parents have specific complaints about the Educational Health and Care (EHC) plan procedures, or about the content of their child's EHC plan, they will be referred to West Sussex County Council. This is in accordance with the SEND Code of Practice.
