Special Educational Needs and Disability 

The school has a very well-developed department to support students with Special Educational Needs. The SENCo has a highly experienced team working with students in a variety of settings to ensure the school policy of equal access to the curriculum and learning experiences for all students is applied. Most support work takes place on an 'in class' basis, but there are opportunities for small group and individual work to take place.

Close liaison with feeder primary schools, parents and the Educational Psychologist ensures that the students with Special Educational Needs are quickly identified and appropriate support strategies developed. The provisions of the new Code of Practice are fully integrated into the workings of the school and underpin all that we do.

Some children receive additional funding via the SEND unit.  At Redden Court School these children have support plans specific to their individual needs.  Miss A Weatherall is the leader in charge of the SEND Unit and oversees the support these individuals receive.

Children maximise their learning by making use of a system of support in mainstream lessons and in the nurturing environments within school.  Support is bespoke and tailored to the needs of individual children.
