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:
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.
Ofsted
Transition
A member of staff will visit all feeder primary schools in terms five and six to meet the students and their staff.
We also meet every student and their parents/carers for individual meetings in the summer term, and any additional needs can be discussed. This could include physical, learning, sensory or emotional needs. We like to know if English is an additional language (EAL) for students too.
Sometimes it is appropriate for prospective students to visit MGGS on more than one occasion in term six, or for a parent/carer transition meeting to take place, to enable a smooth transition at the beginning of Year 7.
All new students attend the Transition Day in term six, where they will get an introduction to school life at MGGS and also get opportunity to meet their new form group and their form tutor.
