SEND and the school’s curriculum
The children and young people live in a diverse society in 21st century Britain. KEGS is committed to creating an environment for the whole school community that demonstrates shared values of inclusion, equality, fairness and respect (please see our Equality Objectives statement for further details). As a school, therefore, we aim to ensure that all pupils have maximum access to the school’s broad and balanced curriculum, along with all other school activities, and we strive to help all pupils achieve to the best of their abilities and to become confident individuals living fulfilling lives, despite any difficulty or disability they may have. We ensure that teaching staff are aware of and sensitive to the needs of all pupils and we work in partnership with parents/carers, pupils and relevant external agencies in order to provide for children’s special educational needs and disabilities.
