What is Special Educational Need and Disabilities?
The term, Special Educational Need and Disabilities (SEND), covers any learning difficulty or disability that requires special educational provision to be made for them. It covers a range of needs, including challenges in Communication and Interaction, Cognition and Learning, Social, Emotional and/or Mental Health and Sensory and/or Physical Needs.
At Carbeile Junior School, we are committed to providing a wide range of learning opportunities which are accessible to all. We work closely with parents, carers, and when required outside agencies, to ensure that every child’s needs are met appropriately and all pupils can achieve their full potential.
We use universal, targeted and specialist strategies to support children, following a graduated approach to ensure that appropriate levels of support are put in place for individual pupils.
