Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

'The school is good at helping children in specific areas. Learning seems to be tailored to each child's needs'
Parent voice 2023​​
Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)​

​Our Inclusion manager and SENDCo is the headteacher, Jen Harvey. 
If a child is identified as having special needs, the school will endeavour to find the right support package. The school works with other specialist agencies within West Sussex. Teachers and support staff are adept in adaptive teaching practice. All pupils are encouraged to develop skills of self-help and independent working. 
​
Admission of disabled pupils is through the West Sussex admissions procedures. The school works closely with parents and the relevant agencies to ensure appropriate resources are 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.

The school has completed the Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Inclusive Practice Award (2022)
