SEND
Information on DfE regarding help and support
At Sandbrook, we aim to educate all our children to their full potential within a broad and balanced curriculum. All children are a unique part of our school community and are treated equally and fairly. We take full account of the rights of everyone to be treated with respect, tolerance, honesty, justice and security.
We strive to create the best possible learning opportunities for all our children to achieve. We ensure consistency of approach in a positive, caring and encouraging atmosphere within which all our children can thrive, educationally and emotionally.
We support those children who struggle with learning & behaviour and challenge all our children to be the best they can. We are realistic and understand that some children may need extra support to reach these high aspirations.
At Sandbrook, every teacher is a teacher of every child, including those with SEND and as such each teacher is accountable for the progress and attainment of every child in their class including those who receive specialist support outside of the classroom and we aim to ensure all children, regardless of need or ability, reach their fullest potential.
