SEND

How we support children with SEND at Hollybush 

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school. Our provision is 'needs-led', meaning we give each child what they need to be able to enjoy their time at school, and to make good progress. 

We understand that all children learn differently. We know that our children are neuro-diverse and so have established an ethos across the school where all of our children know that our strengths are in our differences, not in our similarities.  

We believe in equity in education. Giving each child what they need (equity), rather than treating all children the same (equality). 

'Staff identify the needs of pupils with SEND accurately. This information is used effectively to help pupils with SEND access the same curriculum as their peers. Teachers adapt lessons appropriately.'

'The school has developed ‘the nest’ as a separate provision for a small number of pupils with specific needs. Staff in the nest are highly trained. They provide a bespoke curriculum which enables pupils who attend to thrive.'
