Introduction

Our SEN Information Report  – as specified in Schedule 1 of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 and which is part of Durham County Council’s Local Offer – provides details about how we support children and young people with Special Educational Needs in our school.

The SEN Information Report was reviewed and updated in September 2023

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

Key Contacts

  • Mr D Christie – Headteacher

SEND Admissions

For information on the admission of pupils with a disability, please visit the School Admissions section of our website.

School regularly reviews the Accessibility Plan, which covers all required areas on the school site.

The Accessibility Plan:

  • increases the extent to which pupils with disabilities can participate in the curriculum.
  • improves the physical school environment to enable pupils with disabilities to take better advantage of the education, benefits, facilities and services school provides.
  • improving the delivery to pupils with disabilities of information that is readily accessible to pupils without disabilities.

If you would like to discuss your child’s SEN in more detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.

The full range of local support available for children/ young people with SEND and their families within and outside of school can be found in the County Durham Local Offer
