Complaints:

Complaints will be dealt with in line with the school’s complaints procedure, but it is hoped close home-school liaison will minimise the need for complaints, giving rise to effective partnership working.  Please do not hesitate to contact the school’s SEND Team if you would like to talk through any of this in more detail. Further information can be found in our SEND policy, Accessibility Policy and Equalities Policy.

Inclusive provision is made for those students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including cognition and learning, communication and interaction, social mental emotional health, sensory and/or physical and any looked after children who have been identified with SEND to ensure that they have equality of opportunity and aim to fulfil their potential.

Admissions arrangements for students with SEND are set out in the school’s admission policy.
