Catering for the needs of all Children

At Stramongate School we believe that every child is unique and special, and we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all. We are committed to developing cultures, policies and practices that are inclusive.

When children are identified as needing additional learning or behaviour support, the School adheres to the 2014 SEND Code of Practice. We ensure that each child’s needs are individually and appropriately catered for, and that any relevant outside agencies are involved in providing guidance and support.

The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) is responsible for supporting, planning and monitoring interventions. This monitoring is used to ensure systems are effective and impact positively on a child’s progress.
