Special Education Needs ( SEN)
Our aim is to provide all our pupils with an inclusive education together with the necessary life and social skills to ensure that when they leave Ghyllgrove Primary they can confidently look forward to enjoying the next chapter in their lives.
To achieve our aim, we want all our pupils to feel happy, comfortable and secure in the school and for them and their parents to have absolute trust and belief in our teaching staff, all of whom are dedicated and committed to helping pupils realise their full potential.
At Ghyllgrove Primary, we have fostered an inclusive ethos and our community of staff work together collaboratively to develop and implement our policies and practices. We operate a pupil-centred approach to teaching, based on the careful assessment of individual pupils' strengths and needs. This is kept under constant review and amended as required. Central to our approach to teaching is our aim to provide a culture in the school and a learning environment in which all pupils achieve their confidence to develop to the maximum of their ability in all areas.
The SEN Code of Practice (January 2015) sets out in Chapter 6.15 that:
'A pupil has SEN where their learning difficulty or disability calls for special educational provision, namely provision different from or additional to that normally available to pupils of the same age.'
