Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at Byron School

image

At the heart of our work in school is an ongoing cycle of planning, teaching and assessment that is differentiated to take into account the range of abilities of our children. The majority of children will learn and progress within these arrangements. Those children whose overall attainments and achievement in specific subjects fall significantly outside the expected range may have Special Educational Needs (SEN).

 

The dedicated SEND team at Byron work alongside class teachers to support the different needs of the children in our school. To read more about the support that they provide for pupils click here.
