Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

What is SEND?

A child has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability that we need to make special provision for.

Some key terms explained

Learning Difficulty: when a child finds it harder to learn than most children do.

Disability (that we need to make special provision for): something that hinders a child from using our school facilities.

Special provision: is support that is extra or different to what is typically provided.
