We are proud of the progress that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) make throughout their time with us. Our vision at Christ Church School is to enable all members of our school community to experience life in all its fullness, both now and in the future, and this sits at the heart of the way we support children with individual needs.

Christ Church School is an inclusive school where staff work hard to support children to make strong individual progress from their individual starting points across all areas of school life. We believe that all children should have opportunities to learn, participate and experience success and that having a strong sense of belonging is an important part of children’s experiences within school.

We believe that progress in wider skills, such as communication, relationships, independence, emotional wellbeing and keeping safe and healthy, is just as important as progress in academic learning. These wider skills often go hand in hand with academic success and play an important role in helping children experience life in all its fullness.

We work closely with parents and carers, recognising that they know their children best. By listening carefully, discussing strengths and needs openly and planning provision together, we aim to build strong partnerships which help children to thrive.

Where external professionals and agencies are involved, we work collaboratively with them and families in order to help ensure joined-up support for children.

We warmly encourage parents and carers who are considering Christ Church School for their child to visit the school, meet with us and talk through their child’s strengths, needs and experiences. We believe this helps families gain a clear understanding of our school environment, ethos and provision and supports thoughtful conversations about how Christ Church School may be able to meet their child’s needs.

We hope this policy document provides the information that parents need about our provision and practice in this area. Please do contact our Inclusion Leader for a discussion about your child’s individual needs or if you have any questions about our provision.
