Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

SEND Coordinator:  Mrs Jukes     SEND Link Governor:  Ben Williams

We hope you will enjoy reading about the variety of ways in which Priestlands is able to support SEND students to reach their full potential.

Every student at Priestlands has the opportunity to follow all National Curriculum subjects as well as following an appropriate GCSE curriculum pathway.

Our range of curriculum pathways ensure that all students are able to access the right options for them.  We endeavour to offer the opportunity to follow a curriculum specifically designed to develop a range of skills and to give students self-confidence through their learning.

We are committed to narrowing the attainment gap between students with SEND and those without. This may include after school interventions, short-term intervention learning programmes at our off site provision, home-school intervention learning programmes or other learning interventions developed on an individual needs basis.

We have good attendance at Priestlands as students want to come to school to experience our high quality learning environment.
