The School SEND Policy

At STFS our vision is that all students at STFS will RISE to the challenge. This will be lived through partnerships between staff, students and their families.

We aim to:

• Identify and overcome barriers to learning and participation for students with SEND.

• Enable students to participate in an accessible, broad and balanced curriculum with the appropriate adaptations in place.

• Value and encourage the contribution of all students to school life.

• Work in partnership with parents and carers, with an appreciation that they know their student best.

• Work closely with external support agencies, where appropriate, to support the need of individual students.

• Ensure that all staff have access to training linked to identified needs to support quality teaching and learning for all.

The school SEND Policy is reviewed every year and revised in discussion with parents/carers, pupils, staff and governors.

Local Authorities have a duty to publish a Local Offer, setting out in one place information about provision they expect to be available in their area across education, health and social care for any child with SEND. To see Bucks Local Offer click here.

As part of the local offer, STFS publishes its SEND Information Report – it is updated each year and is co-produced with parents/carers and pupils of STFS.
