SEND Overview

A Guide to Additional Educational Needs Provision:
What can I expect for my child?

We have a team of highly skilled Learning Support Assistants who support students with additional needs both in and outside of the classroom, developing student and staff understanding of SEND and coordinating with teachers to ensure effective support is in place, barriers to education are being reduced and students are able to access their classroom provision fully in order to achieve their goals.  

We have an area of the school that is dedicated to the support of our SEND students. Our students can find the SENCO, LSAs and Pastoral team all on the same corridor when they might need additional support and this includes a large safe space where some of our interventions and lunch club take place. 

We work closely with our surrounding local authorities and external specialists to coordinate the very best provision for students. To find out more about the LBHF SEND Local Offer, please click here.
