Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at Brierley Hill Primary School
At Brierley Hill Primary School, we are committed to being an inclusive school where all children, regardless of their individual needs, are valued and supported to achieve their full potential. We believe that every child has the right to a high-quality education and to feel a sense of belonging, success, and well-being.
We celebrate diversity and recognise that all children learn in different ways. Our approach to SEND is rooted in the belief that inclusion is not an add-on, but a fundamental part of what we do. Through high-quality teaching, targeted interventions, and a nurturing environment, we ensure that children with additional needs are fully supported in all aspects of school life.
At Brierley Hill Primary, we:
✔ Foster a culture of respect, understanding, and high expectations for all learners.
✔ Provide individualised support through personalised learning strategies.
✔ Work in close partnership with parents, carers, and external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils.
✔ Make reasonable adjustments to ensure every child can access and thrive in our curriculum.
