SEND
Haydn Primary School’s approach to supporting children with SEND
We are committed to providing, for each pupil, the best possible provision and environment for learning. We aim to provide Special Educational provision within an adapted curriculum that meets the needs of all children. We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum which is accessible, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life.
We believe that all children should be equally valued in school. We strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and to develop an environment where all children can flourish, feel safe and achieve.
Our SEND and Inclusion Lead is Mrs Amanda Evans
Our SEND Governor is Andrea Snelling
