Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

 

All children have the right to an education that will enable them to reach their full potential. We believe that each child has individual and unique needs and acknowledge that some children require more support than others. A child has special educational needs if he/she requires additional or different provision from that made generally for children of their age in that school.  In order to support these children we recognise their needs and plan accordingly. At St Bede's our Headteacher, Staff and Governors are all committed to the integration of children with Special Needs.

 

Lancashire County Council produces its own local offer which brings together information for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities and their families in the local authority area.

Supporting young people with SEND online

 

The internet can be a great place, but we need to be aware of the risks involved with being online.  For children with SEND, they may encounter further challenges and therefore additional support may be required.  There is a lot of tailored information available to parents and carers and the following links are a great starting point:
