SEND
Welcome to SEND at Sandringham School. Sandringham aims to embrace the needs of all students and has a whole-school approach to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We provide effective opportunities for all students by responding to students’ diverse and often complex, learning needs, setting suitable learning challenges and overcoming barriers to learning.
Sandringham in an inclusive school that believes strongly that all students, regardless of ability, background or ethnicity, have the right to participate in and enjoy all aspects of school life, and have the opportunity to meet their full potential. Sandringham School recognises the definition of SEND as described in the SEND Code of Practice 0- 25, 2014. More details of which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25 Admissions for all students to Sandringham are handled by the Local Education Authority, including for students with Education, Health and Care plans, disabilities and Looked after Children.
