Children with Special Educational Needs

The school has a well developed policy of response to those children that have special educational needs. Children with special educational needs will be assisted through a structured programme of help given by the class teachers and the special needs coordinator. Children who need special help will be referred to Herefordshire Learning Support Services for assessment and further help. If further assistance is required help will be sought from the Educational Psychological Service and other appropriate agencies.

The school follows the county 'Code of Practice' with regard to the manner in which it works with children with special educational needs.

Parents will be informed and included in all decisions regarding the special needs provisions for their children.

As the school is an old building there are limited facilities for children with physical special needs and any application by parents of children with physical special needs will be considered in relation to the child's access to the building.
