Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
 

We are committed to providing an excellent education for all children whatever their specific ability or need. We believe that the partnership between parents is essential in ensuring all children reach their potential. We recognise that this is even more crucial for children with special educational needs and disabilities.
 

Our Federation offer sets out the support and services, which are available to children with special educational needs and disabilities at our schools and how we will work with you to ensure your child receives the best possible education.
