Special needs information report
The governing board of every maintained school has a statutory duty to publish information about the implementation of the school’s policy for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This information is reviewed and updated annually in accordance with the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations (2014) and the SEND Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years.
At Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre, we are committed to working in partnership with pupils, parents and carers, staff, governors and external agencies to ensure that every child is supported to achieve their full potential. Our SEN Information Report has been developed in consultation with members of our school community and explains how we identify, assess and meet the needs of pupils with SEND, as well as the arrangements we have in place to support their inclusion, progress and wellbeing.
