Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
We value the abilities and achievements of all our children. The teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every child are important. We follow the necessary regulations to ensure that we take the experience and needs of all our children into account when planning for learning.
We aim for all pupils to have access to a broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum and ensure the best learning conditions for each child, through differentiation, varied teaching styles, resource and adult support.
The Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) at Hindlip First School is Mr Josh Uren. The SEND governor is Mr Matthew Davies. The role of SENCO is to work with staff, parents and outside agencies to coordinate provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

From September 2014, schools were required to outline and publish the provision they make for children with special educational needs and disabilities. There were many changes and you can read all about them within our SEND Policy and Information Report via the documents below. The information will hopefully answer any questions that you may have.
We are a trauma informed school and have received Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) training from the Virtual School. All staff receive regular training to support pupils in the area of SEND.
