The SFL department lead by Karen Seldon (SENDCo) are responsible for co-ordinating SEND provision.
We will:
- Use our best endeavours to make sure that a child with SEND gets the support they need
- Ensure that children and young people with SEND engage in the activities of the school alongside pupils who do not have SEND
- Inform parents when we are making special educational provision for their child
We acknowledge that at Gillingham School all teachers are teachers of SEND and under the guidance of the SFL department all pupils will have access to a broad and balanced curriculum. Teachers will set high expectations for every pupil, whatever their prior attainment. Teachers will use appropriate assessment to set targets which are deliberately ambitious. Lessons will be planned to address potential areas of difficulty and to remove barriers to learning and achievement.
Gillingham School currently supports students with a wide range of SEND including but not limited to;
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia
- ASC
- ADHD
- Tourettes
- OCD
- Issues affecting mental health
- Physical disabilities
- Medical conditions
