Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND)
What is SEND?
A child has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability that we need to make special provision for.
Some key terms explained
Learning Difficulty: when a child finds it harder to learn than most children do.
Disability (that we need to make special provision for): something that hinders a child from using our school facilities.
Special provision: is support that is extra or different to what is typically provided.
