High Aspirations

Our leaders create a culture of high aspiration for pupils with SEND.

  • Our senior leaders prioritise high-quality teaching for all pupils and routinely audit staff skills and knowledge to celebrate good practice and identify areas for development. 

  • We carefully consider our staff deployment to support pupils with SEND. Our leaders invest in developing the skills and roles of both teachers and teaching assistants (TAs).

  • All pupils are given the opportunity to study the full curriculum. Where pupils are withdrawn from subjects, numbers are extremely low and each decision is supported by a clear, individual rationale.

  • All staff understand the value of neuro-affirming language and consistently avoid phrases that limit pupils’ potential.

  • We monitor outcomes from personalised and targeted interventions regularly to ensure effectiveness and impact.

  • We engage with external SEND professionals to support projects that make mainstream education more inclusive and effective.

  • Our strategies to improve attendance and behaviour are inclusive taking into account the specific needs of vulnerable groups and pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs.
