Downfield school believes that each pupil has individual and unique needs. We acknowledge that a significant proportion of pupils will have special educational needs or Disabilities (SEND) at some time in their school career. Many of these pupils may require help throughout their time in school, while others may need a little extra support for a short period to help them overcome more temporary needs. If these pupils are to achieve their full potential, we must recognise this and plan accordingly. This school aims to provide all pupils with strategies for dealing with their needs in a supportive environment and to give them meaningful access to the National Curriculum. If you would like to discuss this further please contact the school SENCO on the below details:

Useful information for parents and carers:
If your child has additional needs, knowing where to go to find support can be overwhelming at first. The "New to SEND" page on the local offer website is full of tips from other parents about how to go about finding the best support for your family.
