Special Educational Needs

Children have special educational needs if they have a learning or emotional/behavioural difficulty that calls for special provision to be made for them.

Children have learning difficulty if they:
•  Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age
•  Have a disability that prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in schools within the area of the local education authority

Our aims:

• Ensure the necessary provision is made for any pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and those needs are made known to all who work with the child

• Enable staff to identify and provide for pupils with SEND

* Actively engage parents and carers in your child's education at Grove

Please see our policies section for our latest policies on Accessibility, Special Educational Needs and Disability and  our Looked After Children policy.

On 1st September 2014 Birmingham published their local offer setting out, in one place, a wide range of information about Special Educational Needs and the new Education, Health and Care ( EHC) Plans.
