Introduction

Our SEN Information Report – provides details about how we support children and young people with Special Educational Needs in our school.

 

We recognise that all pupils are entitled to a quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their potential. We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning, raising expectations and levels of achievement and working in partnership with other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils including those with a special educational need or disability.

This SEND Information Report should be read alongside the school’s SEND Policy, the Equalities Information and Objectives and the Accessibility Plan.

NEW Neurodiversity Referral Processes-2025

 

The referral process for Neurodiversity diagnosis such as ADHD and Autism  has now changed. If you are seeking support with a referral; the documents below will support you in this process.

There are copies of the referral paperwork for your own use and once we have this paperwork from home school will complete the ‘Education Setting’ part of the referral.

 

Please note: The referral you use is determined on whether your GP surgery is classed as Nottinghamshire or Nottingham CITY, so if you are unsure please speak to your GP before completing the paperwork as if submitted to the wrong place, it will be automatically rejected.
