Special Educational Needs and Disabilities at Berkswich

?

We are proud to be an inclusive school at Berkswich. Through our comprehensive approach to SEND, we strive to provide a secure, caring and happy environment in which all of our pupils can experience success and enjoyment of learning through our dynamic curriculum.

Our dedication to meet all children's individual needs helps us to maximise every child's inclusion in all aspects of school and community life. We believe in equal opportunities for all, where everyone is treated with respect, dignity and is valued equally. We value and honour the views of our pupils and their families and provide opportunities for them to influence change and to be fully involved in the decision-making process.

Our SENDCo, Mrs Andrews, works closely alongside class teachers to deliver support throughout the school. As a trained ELSA, Mrs Andrews is also supported by our dedicated pastoral team, who work directly with a number of our children.
