All Sunderland Local Authority (LA) maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and /or disabilities and are supported by the LA to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school. All schools are supported to be as inclusive as possible, with the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) being met in a mainstream setting wherever possible.
The Governing Body and the Head teacher have overall responsibility for the school’s Special Educational Needs policy.

The information below outlines our approach to meeting the needs of all pupils who have been identified as having Special Educational Needs.
