SEND Information

There are no barriers to what you can achieve at Colne Valley High School.

A child or young person has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for them. This means that they have a much greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or they may have a disability which means that they cannot make full use of facilities provided. This could include difficulties with communication and interaction; cognition and learning; social, emotional and mental health; sensory difficulties with sight or hearing; or physical difficulties. In all these cases, there are ways we can support students to enjoy learning and to reach their potential.
    As a school we aim to:
  • ensure that all pupils have access to a broad and balanced curriculum
  • build on each pupil’s strengths
  • provide a differentiated curriculum and support provision appropriate to an individual’s needs and ability
  • identify all pupils requiring SEND provision as early as possible in their school career, including effective liaison with previous primary school.
