Our provision for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities
Pupils with SEND access and benefit from the same well-planned curriculum that helps all pupils to achieve well. Staff provide extra help to those pupils who need it. Staff are very knowledgeable about how to inspire pupils and support the learning of pupils with SEND. This helps pupils with SEND to make very strong progress.

Special needs information report
All governing boards of maintained schools have statutory duty to publish information on their website about the implementation of the governing board’s policy for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This information is updated annually.
At Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre, we value and are committed to working together with all members of our school community. Our special educational needs information report has been produced with pupils, parents and carers, members of staff and governors.
