We want all pupils...
- To receive the best possible education to maximise their potential, bearing in mind their individual needs and abilities.
- To develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.
- To recognise their differences.
- To access the National Curriculum to the best of their abilities.
- To utilise resources available in the College.
- To make full use of externally provided facilities where appropriate.
Special educational needs might mean
- Children with learning needs across the curriculum
- Children with learning needs associated with language delay
- Children with specific learning difficulties
- Children with physical or sensory needs
- Children with emotional or behavioural needs
- Children who are able and talented or a combination of these needs
The College has a set of procedures for identifying and assessing the special needs of individual children which involves at various stages, teaching staff, SENCO, parents, external agencies and of course the pupils themselves.
We need to know pupil's individual ability, potential and achievement. We therefore continuously assess their performance and progress. We also carry out more structured tests at various times.
