SEND

We provide an environment in which all children, including those with special educational needs, are supported to reach their full potential.

  • We have regard for Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (2014).
  • We ensure our provision is inclusive to all children with special educational needs.
  • We support parents and children with special educational needs and disability (SEND).
  • We identify the specific needs of children with special educational needs and meet those needs through a range of SEN strategies.
  • We work in partnership with parents and other agencies in meeting individual children’s needs.
  • We monitor and review our policy, practice and provision and, if necessary, make adjustments.

At Common Road, we aim to:

  • Create a positive ethos that equally values staff, pupils, parents, carers and governors.
  • Ensure that the curriculum is appropriate and matched to developmental levels and needs of individual children.
  • Provide an education for all children that is exciting, stimulating, encourages individuality and builds confidence.
  • Encourage and develop high expectations from children, staff, carers and parents.
  • Provide a balanced and broadly based curriculum using the best resources available.
  • Develop a partnership with parents and carers, and involve them in the learning process.
  • Share and seek good practice, rising standards of inclusion in partnership with other agencies and schools.
  • Forge and establish links with the community.
  • Achieve a high level of staff expertise to meet pupil need.
