SEND (Special Education Needs and Disabilities)

We are committed to inclusive practice and celebrate every opportunity for excellence for all our students.

We work to overcome any barriers to learning and personalise support for those with additional SEND needs. The SEND team has an open door policy for all learners and parents/carers.

Kirklees Local Offer
 

Kirklees Local Offer gives children and young people, aged 0-25 years, with special educational needs or disabilities, and their families, information about what is available in Kirklees across education, health and social care.

It covers:

• SEND support in nurseries and schools
• Health and Social Care
• Choices for school leavers
• Support for parents and carers
• Income and benefits
• Things to do where you live

It is so much more than a directory of services, it brings everything together in one place.
