Welcome to the Inclusion area.

At Bapchild and Tonge we recognise each pupil for being the unique individual that they are. Should your child have an additional need/s or a disability we will do our upmost to ensure their personalised plan reflects all of their specific needs. We work hard to offer learning environments and opportunities in which all children can succeed and every member of staff is responsible for supporting the needs of our SEND pupils. It is important to us to build a collaborative partnership between parents/carers and we are always available to discuss any concerns our families have. Below is some further guidance on key areas of our SEND provision;

This provides more detail on how we prevent and remove barriers within our school. This document is reviewed every three years, as instructed by the Department of Education. It is an opportunity for us to think about how every pupil accesses our school and its curriculum. As well as thinking proactively about changes that may need to happen.
