Calthwaite CofE School 

This school provides a broad and balanced curriculum for all children.  We aim to differentiate as appropriate to meet individual needs and abilities.

Children may have SEN throughout, or at any time during their school career.  This policy ensures that curriculum planning and assessment takes account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the pupil.

In their planning, teachers take into account pupils’ special educational needs.  The provision aims to enable every child to participate effectively in all curriculum and assessment activities, in addition to broader aspects of schools life.
