The school works closely with other agencies to focus on the identification and provision for those children who have SEND needs. All services involved with the school are regarded as being part of a working partnership alongside parents and carers whose aim is to provide, as highlighted in the SEND Code of Practice, an integrated, high quality, holistic support which focuses on the needs of the child.
