Access to the curriculum

We organise classrooms and timetabling to ensure that the full curriculum is accessible to all pupils in the school. Teachers and support staff are given appropriate training to meet the needs of particular pupils who may need additional support to access the curriculum.

Access to information

ICT resources and large print materials are made available to help pupils who may need them. The school is committed to responding to the needs of all its members.
