Inclusion
Swiss Gardens is an inclusive school that enables all pupils, including those with additional special educational needs and disabilities, to reach their full potential. By working in partnership with pupils, parents and carers we are continually developing our provision.
Our practices and procedures are embedded into school life to ensure pupils’ special educational needs are identified swiftly. We consider each of the pupils when planning and provide a curriculum which is accessible to all, whatever their individual needs. We acknowledge that some pupils require additional support to ensure access to a full curriculum and, where appropriate, a range of support strategies are implemented.
Please read our SEND Information Report and Local Offer below for more information about our provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
Our Accessibility Plan also outlines how we ensure our school is accessible to all learners, parents, staff and visitors.
If you wish to talk to us about your child’s needs or the provision in place, please speak to your child’s class teacher or contact any member of our SEND and Inclusion Team through the school office the special educational needs team directly.
