We have a Deaf Provision within our school that is fully inclusive in terms of children, teaching and community. This role, however, will be a SENCo for the children with EHCP's and other needs from mainstream classes. Despite the SEND provision for Deaf pupils being led by a separate leader, we encourage and welcome a team work approach to SEND in our school.
