At Wyvern, we value all our students and ensure they are seen as individuals with differing interests, knowledge, skills, and needs. We have an inclusive ethos and strive to increase the learning and participation of all pupils, ensuring access to an appropriate curriculum. SEND is seen as a whole school issue, hence the responsibility of everyone. Every teacher is a teacher of every young person including those with SEND or any other additional need. We work closely with our children, families, and a wide range of professionals to ensure the best educational outcomes.

Objectives of our SEND provision

• Ensuring equality of opportunity for all – students should be able to access a wide range of learning opportunities as well as being fully integrated into school life socially.
• Ensuring that the specific needs of individual pupils are identified and met, whether on a short or long-term basis and that all staff are involved in this process, as well as outside agencies, where necessary.
• Providing appropriate support to allow all pupils to achieve the highest possible levels of performance, both academically (pupils with SEND should be making at least expected progress) but also in other areas of school life
• Raising the self-esteem and aspirations of pupils with SEN and developing their skills as independent learners
• Developing and maintaining communication and effective partnerships with parents
• Following the requirements and recommendations of the SEND Code of Practice 2001
