• What training have staff had and what is planned?

We aim to keep all school staff up to date with relevant training and developments in teaching practice, in relation to the needs of pupils with SEND. Whole staff training is carried out on a regular basis to increase staff’s knowledge and understanding of a wide range of topics related to special educational needs and disabilities. 

Training is made available for whole staff or targeted at specific groups, such as; governors, midday staff, TA’s etc. This is accessed through the Local Authority, Family of schools or through in-house training.
