SEND at CSM
At Coningsby St Michael’s we strive to provide a high quality education for pupils with SEND and to support all children to enabling them to achieve their full potential, feel valued and successful and become confident individuals living fulfilling lives.
Quality first teaching is vital; every teacher is a teacher of every child in their class, including those with SEND.
Each pupil is seen as having individual needs, and the school strives to ensure that everyone feels equally valued within the school community and has equal opportunities.
We acknowledge and value the role that parents/cares have in their child’s learning and aim to work in partnership with them, taking into account the voice of the child.
As a school we always seek to develop an inclusive curriculum by:
- Having high expectations and ambitions for all children
- Setting suitable learning challenges for all children
- Responding to children’s diverse learning needs
- Working with the child to ensure full access to all learning and assessment tasks for individuals and groups of children.
- Identifying and removing barriers to learning
- Working with LAAT, LEA and outside agencies to achieve the best outcome for the child.
