SEND & Inclusion

We strive to create a happy, caring community where all children feel valued and secure. We value the contributions made by all children, professionals and parents to help enhance and maintain our inclusive school community. We encourage every student to do their best in all aspects of school life, ensuring they realise their maximum potential. We provide a broad, balanced and stimulating curriculum for every child regardless of gender, sexuality, race, colour, disability, religion or belief, age, and ethnicity or nationality.
