SEND
At the William Alvey, we believe that every child is unique and deserves the opportunity to thrive within an environment where they can achieve their full potential. We understand that many children with Special Educational Needs/Disabilities (SEND) may face specific challenges and are committed to meeting those needs with care and expertise.
Our classrooms, teaching and ethos support every child to learn. Teachers universally adapt their practice to meet the differing needs, strengths and learning styles of their class. We adopt a Graduated Approach to meeting SEND needs which involves a continuous cycle of assessment, planning, intervention and review. This enables us to understand and address children’s needs appropriately and in a timely manner.
We seek close collaboration with parents and carers to help us to work together to support your child’s development. We also work closely with outside agencies such as Children’s Therapy Services to ensure that we use the most effective strategies and interventions for each child.
We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about how your child can flourish in our school.
Please do get in touch with our SENDCOs Emma Weston & Stacey Staples if you would like to discuss anything further:
