Special Needs – Support

The school is committed, subject to the availability of resources, to ensuring that every pupil receives a broad balanced education which maximises their potential and to support children who have special needs by providing them with appropriate levels of additional support.

The school recognises that pupils at the upper end of the academic scale are as much in need of special support as are those at the other end of the scale though their demands are supervised by teachers/tutors, not by the Special Needs Department.

Children identified as having special educational needs (SEN) are placed on a register which is reviewed regularly.  Parents may be invited to come into school in order to discuss their child with the school.  Where necessary, ILPs (Individual Learning Programmes) and IEPs (Individual Educational Programmes) are set by the Heads of Departments.

The school has access to the Educational Support Services, health and Social Services and Educational and Welfare Services both in Manchester and Bury, together and to the Jewish Federation and other Voluntary Organisations.

At this time, the Governor appointed by the Governing Body with responsibility for SEN is Mrs. Sandra Hyman.
