We aim to ensure that students with special educational needs and disabilities are identified, supported and guided throughout their school life. This will enable them to maximise their learning potential during the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 4, thus making a successful transition to adulthood and the world of further and higher education, training or employment.

Our guiding principle is one of inclusion. We want to identify and break down all possible barriers to learning. We value all students in our school equally and ensure that each has access to a broad, balanced curriculum which is carefully crafted to meet their needs and abilities. We aim to offer high quality support to ensure that the needs of all students are met.

For our SEND students, a network of support systems is in place across the whole curriculum. Wherever possible, students work in mainstream classes with support, but facilities are provided for short term individual withdrawal when appropriate.

The Wade Deacon Experience is also a fantastic way to make new friends, learn new skills, and enjoy new experiences. We encourage all students, including those with SEND, to get involved and explore the opportunities available. Our staff work closely with students and families to remove barriers to participation and make reasonable adaptations where needed. We believe every student should have equal access to the rich experiences that school life offers, and we celebrate the unique strengths and contributions that all students bring to our clubs and activities.
