Special Educational Needs and Disabilities   (SEND)

At Mount Pleasant, we ensure we meet the needs of all our learners, whether those needs are physical, social and emotional or about learning.

All children in our school have support within lessons through high quality teaching and support which is appropriate to their needs. This means that all activities, both inside and outside the classroom, are planned according to the needs of the individual child. This can include changes to the physical environment, changes to teaching styles and different levels of support which may be offered by adults in the classroom.

We maintain high expectations for all pupils and expect progress to be made by every child regardless of any difficulties. Our school works closely to our SEND Policy and Information Report which can be read below:

  • We have a named Governor for Child Protection, Safeguarding and Children/In Care: Mr Jack Richards.
  • Mrs Claire Woodhall, our Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-Ordinator (SENCo) is a trained teacher and assessor for dyslexia. She can offer advice on any concerns that parents may have about their child.

The following are the four main categories of Special Educational Needs; they act as a guide but the things we do may vary as the actual support plan offered is based on each individual child's specific needs, which may be complex:

  • Learning, Thinking and Understanding
  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties
  • Communication and Interaction
  • Sensory and/or Physical Needs
