Our SEND Provision

At St Nicholas CE we have high expectations for all our children, recognising all educational achievement. We provide an inclusive learning environment that meets the needs of all children enabling them to reach their true potential. Lessons are differentiated, planning is adapted and teaching styles and resources are varied to meet the different learning styles of our children.

The SENDCo works closely with external agencies in order to support teachers and in turn children. Teachers and teaching assistants update their skills and knowledge through continuous professional development through a variety of training opportunities. Some of our teaching and support staff have additional qualifications.
