SEN and School Closure
SEN links and resources in lieu of the school closures are available on our school closures information page. We hope you find them useful. Please get in touch if we can help and support further.
SEN
We have a dedicated SEN Leader, Mrs Victoria Shackleton, who works across the three schools of our federation. She spends time in each of our schools supporting the learning needs of our SEN pupils and those who need some additional intervention to support areas of development. Victoria can be contacted using the office telephone number at any school.

Some useful links for websites you may find helpful can be found below. For information on our SEN policy please look in the policies section under the Statuatory Information tab. This will take you to our Federation website where all our policies are available.
Local Offer
Each school should have a 'Local Offer' which sets out for parents the SEN provision which they offer. In collaboration with the three federated schools we have worked to produce a local offer which sets out our SEN provision. Please find attached the Local Offer document.

Kirklees Council are currently upgrading the ‘Local Offer’ website.
The purpose of the site is to give children and young people, who have Special Educational Needs and or Disabilities (SEND) and their families, information about support and services in our local area. It’s essential they ask young people for their views and wishes, in order to make sure the site is useful and meets their needs.Therefore, a quick link, seeking feedback has been created, to start a conversation.
This is the quick link:

Facilities
Our building at Wellhouse School predates any disability considerations in its construction. However, we are fortunate to be accessed without steps at the front of school with access to a disabled toilet at entry level. The toilet also has a changing bed with an adjustable height to make changing facilities as comfortable as possible.
Should a pupil or parent need access to the building and choose us as a setting for their child, we would make all the necessary adjustments which were possible to allow the building to be accessed and any limitations of the building were limited.
