Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND)
Southbroom Infants is a mainstream school. All children are valued, respected and welcomed to our school whatever their additional educational need. We will support their learning and ensure they are fully included in all school activities, making full use of externally provided facilities where appropriate.
The school is proud of its ability to support children with a variety of special needs and leaders are confident that there is a fully inclusive culture at Southbroom Infants with the same aspirations for ALL pupils to achieve well.
Children with additional needs are identified through a combination of observations of the children as individuals within their classes by our experienced staff, tracking the outcomes of assessments and through discussions with parents. As a result, the school is suitably equipped to deal with a wide range of individual needs. The school and the governing body regularly review its provision for children with special needs and ensure that its staff are well prepared and trained. If you would like to discuss any issue regarding your child or special educational needs, please speak to our SEN Co-ordinator (Miss Butcher) who will be happy to provide both information and support.
