Supporting Students with SEND and Medical Needs

We offer a supportive learning environment for our students who may have special educational needs or a disability

Our Aims

Our aim is for every student to be happy at MGGS and to achieve their full potential. We offer a supportive learning environment for our students who may have special educational needs or a disability.

We work within the guidance provided in the SEND Code of Practice 2015, liaising regularly with parents/carers and other professionals as necessary to ensure that each student’s needs are met. We do this by:

  • Identifying, providing, reviewing and evaluating effectiveness of provisions for all students with SEND and medical needs to enable them to access the curriculum that is appropriate to their age group

  • Identifying the SEND and medical needs of students joining the school and planning appropriately for those students’ needs

  • Being alert to the needs of all students who may develop SEND, and to adapt to meet their needs

  • Operating a “whole student, whole school” approach to the management and provision of support for students with SEND and medical needs

  • Ensuring that staff are aware of the needs of students identified as having SEND and medical needs and providing relevant support and advice

  • Regular assessment of student progress

  • Building & maintaining a partnership with parents and students to ensure support is appropriate to individual needs in order for progress to be made

  • Working with external agencies to provide individualised strategies, resources and support.

Students of all abilities and ethnic backgrounds, as well as those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, achieve exceptionally well because suitable arrangements are in place to ensure that they follow programmes which are closely matched to their needs.
