The Children and Families Act 2014 became law in September 2014. The Act reforms the way special educational needs is managed in schools via the SEND Code of Practice which provides statutory guidance to schools for the support of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
This new Code of Practice is available to view or download on the Department for Education website. Useful summary documents are also available on a range of websites, outlining the reforms to special educational needs support and how any changes to statutory practice may affect your child.
At Norton Hill School we strive to support all our students to become aspirational, well-rounded and confident young people enabling them to reach their full potential at school. In order to do this, many steps are taken to support them through their learning journey working in partnership with parents. Quality teaching is vital; however, for some students there are occasions when further additional support may be needed to help them access the learning environment to thrive and to succeed.
