Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The vision for children with SEND at Ghyllgrove Primary School

The vision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and the whole SEND system is based on the fundamental rights of all children and young people as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights

of the Child (UNCRC):

Every child and young person is safe and feels safe.
Every child and young person’s views, feelings and wishes are always considered and taken seriously in all matters that affect them. Every child and young person has the best possible health and wellbeing.
Every child and young person’s education and training should develop their personality, talents and abilities to the full
Every child and young person is connected to, and plays an active part, in their local community
Every child and young person has the education, care and support they need to lead a full and purposeful life with dignity and independence

At Ghyllgrove Primary School we have an SEN team to support your child.
