SEND
Welcome to the SEND information page!
At Wenlock CE Academy, we value every child as a unique child of God. Wenlock is an inclusive and nurturing learning environment where all children are supported and challenged to develop academically and to flourish socially as caring people in our community.
For SEND children, a positive relationship is built between the parents/carers, the child and the school. We are all partners in supporting the child to achieve their very best. The school follows the Assess, Plan, Do Review process and Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are reviewed at the 3 half-term points of the academic year by parents, pupils and class teachers. If you think it would be beneficial for the SENDco to join you in the meetings, please let the class teacher know at the time of booking the review.
The school aligns with the SEN Code of Practice (2015) and the Equality Act (2010). The school SEND Policy and SEND Information Report, are available below, along with the Accessibility Policy. Also, please find the link to the local SEND offer from the Local Authority.
