We pride ourselves on our inclusivity. Provision for pupils with additional needs is a key priority for all at Luddenden CE School.
We offer a wide range of expertise, strategies, interventions and facilities to support and nurture pupils’ personal, social and academic development. Our day-to-day practice throughout school is autism aware and trauma/attachment informed. We also have our own bespoke SEND provision – The Star Room. This is primarily designed and equipped for our children with the most complex needs but is also accessed and enjoyed by a broad range of children across school.
The information below outlines our policy for pupils with SEND. All of the children we teach have their own unique set of needs, skills and talents – therefore we always adopt a personalised approach to supporting children with SEND into school.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to know more about how we could welcome your child into our school family.
