Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
"Every child has a different learning style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning but also of succeeding."
Robert John Meehan
At different times in their life, a child or young person may have a special educational need. The SEND Code of Practice (2014) defines SEND as follows:
“A child or young person has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special education provision to be made for him or her."
At Kingsley Community Primary and Nursery School we value all members of our school community. Our SEND report has been produced with pupils, parents and carers, governors, and members of staff. We welcome your comments, so please do contact us.

The Local Offer website provides information for children and young people with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) and their parents or carers, in a single place. It includes information from a range of local agencies, including education, health and social care. Knowing what is out there gives you more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for your child.
