Special Educational Needs and disability (SEND)

At Green Oaks, all children are valued equally, regardless of their abilities, aptitudes, interests and behaviour. Each child is entitled to a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum, with high aspirations for progress and achievement.

We have supported children with a range of additional needs, including speech and language, cognition and learning, hearing and visual impairment, social emotional and mental health needs, physical disabilities and needs on the Autistic Spectrum.

When considering whether one of our schools is the correct setting for your child, we would always advise that you arrange a visit to look at our environment and to talk to us about your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Green Oaks know if my child needs extra help? At Green Oaks we have Inclusion leaders who are experienced at working with teachers and talking with parents/carers about children's progress or behaviours. They also work with other professionals and previous schools to gather information. We will also use reports from external agencies such as an Educational Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist, Physiotherapist or other professionals.

Q: What support is there to help parent with children with SEND? Please see our SEND Information Report below. Green Oaks has an open door policy and we always encourage parents/carers to talk to the class teacher with any concerns that they may have. Half termly coffee mornings are held for families to get together to share information with professionals and other families.

Q: Who should I contact for more information on SEND? Please contact the school office to arrange an appointment with a member of the Inclusion team.
