Special Educational Needs

The provision and delivery of a broad based, balanced curriculum to students with special educational needs (SEN) is the responsibility of all teachers.

We acknowledge current legislation and recognise that a percentage of our children will have a special need at some stage in their school career.  A number of children will have a Statement of Special Educational Needs.

Students in the college have a special need if they have a greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children in their age group or if they have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities.  All students in the college are encouraged, valued and accepted equally, regardless of their ability.  They are provided with a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum which is differentiated to meet their individual needs, enabling them to reach their potential through both the National Curriculum and the wider curriculum of the college.

The college is fully equipped to welcome pupils with disabilities.  The new building has been carefully designed to give disabled students the opportunity to participate fully in mainstream education.  Facilities include lifts, height adjustable work stations in all classrooms and separate toilet facilities.


All subject departments ensure that able and talented students are identified and offered an extended curriculum to meet their special educational needs.
