SEN
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
The government introduced changes to the law around the way children and young people aged 0 to 25 with special educational needs and disabilities receive support.
Changes were gradually introduced up until April 2018 and there is more focus on personal goals, increased family involvement and improved rights and protections for young people in further education and training.
At Fiddlers Lane, our SENCO is Mrs Mansell.
We aim to provide every child with access to a broad and balanced education. This includes the National Curriculum in line with the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice.
To find out how we do this and what we offer, read our Local Offer for more information.
Admission procedures for all children including children with SEN or disabilities are managed through the local authority.
