Special Educational Needs and Disability

We are a fully inclusive school, and have a reputation locally for providing for children with a range of Special Educational Needs. 

Small group interventions may be provided for children with Special Needs, but all children are taught within their year group by their class teacher who provides quality first teaching which caters for each individual child's needs. We have a number of highly skilled teaching assistants who support children in lessons under the direction of the class teacher.

The information on Special Educational Needs at our school forms part of the Local Offer offered by Cheshire East Local Authority. This provides information for children and young people with special educational needs and their parents or carers in a single place. More information can be found here on the Cheshire East Local Offer site. Our contribution can be downloaded below.

In Cheshire East there is a team which gives information advice and support to parents/carers of children with SEND and to young people over the age of 16 in their own right regarding all things SEND related. This team is the Cheshire East Information Advice and Support (CEIAS) team.
