Four Areas of Need
Areas of SEND
If your child has been identified as SEND, it will be determined which of the four areas will be their main area of need. We promote the ethos of Quality First Teaching within school, to adapt and meet learning needs. We will then follow the process of Assess-plan-do-review alongside parents/carers, to determine the next steps for your child.
