SEN Information

St Philip's aims to be an inclusive school which caters for the needs of all children.

Our approach to meeting the needs of children with special educational needs and disability helps us to meet the following aims:

• To value the rich contribution that difference and diversity makes to our schools. In recognising and responding to the diverse needs of children, we will use a range of flexible responses to meet such needs and accommodate their diversity. ·
• To seek the participation of all our children in learning which leads to the highest possible level of achievement and fulfilment for each individual. ·
• To ensure the views of the child (according to their age and understanding) and parents are sought and valued. ·
• To identify and provide for all children’s learning and physical needs as early as possible, using a range of strategies. ·
• To deliver planned and organised support for all children who are experiencing a learning difficulty or have a disability. ·
• To ensure all children’s needs are met through the practice, culture, management, and deployment of resources. ·
• To work in close partnership with governors, staff, parents, children and outside specialists to create and maintain the best possible provision for all children who have been identified as having a special educational need in accordance with the Code of Practice.
