CRANBURY COLLEGE IS FULLY COMMITTED TO INCLUSION
Intent
Cranbury provides children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) to receive a high-quality education which champions high aspirations for their future regardless of need. Cranbury is an inclusive school which welcomes students who may need support in areas related to academic, social and emotional, behavioural and physical challenges; therefore, celebrating diverse talents and interests.
Implementation
To meet the needs of each individual, Cranbury College will:
- Be inclusive. This will be based on pupil equity; enhanced through communication between senior leaders, teachers, support staff, external agencies and-most importantly- the child.
- Work in partnership with parents and carers.
- Have access to a curriculum which is founded in high expectations and promotes opportunity for all (see curriculum overview here…)
- At Cranbury College, every teacher is a teacher of SEND. Therefore, all children will be supported through adaptive teaching.
- Rigorous assessment to understand progress and identify next steps.
- Students will have access to 1:1 or small group targeted intervention.
- Work alongside external agencies, such as, an Educational Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational Therapist and alternative provision.
- Provide an accessible learning environment.
- Provide good quality and relevant training for all staff members supporting children with SEND.
Impact
Cranbury College students will feel happy, respected and valued. They will leave school successful and ready to step forward into their futures with confidence and direction.
Due to quality first teaching and high aspirations, students will make excellent progress from their starting points. Also, students will actively engage in their education, making positive choices for themselves.
Students will leave Cranbury College knowing that their future started here.
