SEND Support

Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator leads on the support for pupils who have additional learning needs. We have an extensive team of teaching assistants who support our pupils in class to ensure they achieve their very best.

We have lots of routine and structure, and we also give praise and rewards.

We support our pupils to develop confidence and focus on what is important such as being a good friend, being polite and taking pride in their work.

For more detailed information, please read our SEND Information Report on our website.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum opens doors for our pupils, encouraging them to be curious about the world around them and broadening their horizons.

We teach powerful knowledge so that our pupils can understand, access and influence our society, but we also teach critiques of this knowledge – to give our pupils an edge and show them that a canon is always up for debate.

We guide learning carefully to ensure that all of our pupils can access the curriculum and know it. We also challenge pupils to apply their thinking to complex problems to strengthen their intellectual resilience.

Reading, Writing and Mathematics are at the heart of our curriculum, but we also value subject disciplines, teaching Science, History, Geography, Religious Education, Computing, Art and Music as distinct subjects, particularly as our pupils progress through the school.

Whilst we have an ambitious curriculum, driven by our mission for social equity, we also aim for our curriculum to be very inclusive and our teachers plan carefully to ensure all of our pupils can access the curriculum, removing barriers to learning and achievement such as special educational needs.

We are part of the Inspiration Trust and share their knowledge-rich curriculum. We make sure our curriculum is inclusive and accessible for all of our pupils.
