All pupils have some special needs.
All pupils joining the school are screened using diagnostic tests and reports. Pupils who need extra help are referred to a member of the Special Educational Needs team. Help is arranged, using specialist teachers and our own staff who either support pupils in regular lessons or give individual attention in the Special Educational Needs Resources Room. This is equipped with computers and other specialist equipment. Pupils with more severe learning difficulties may be referred to the Educational Psychologist and other outside agencies.
