SEND at Applecroft

Every child deserves a champion

An adult who will never give up on them,

Who understands the power of connection

And insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

We are an inclusive school and pride ourselves in doing our upmost to enable all children to fully participate in all aspects of school life. For us it’s about ‘equity’ – what do we need to provide to give children the safe experiences and opportunities. 

We have a dedicated SEND ‘hub’ in the school.  The ‘hub’ is made up of a Nurture Room (the ‘Den’), a speech and language room where we have two Elklan trained LSA’s working with children across the school in the afternoons, an additional classroom (‘Dali’) and our Sensory Room.  We also have a private meeting room here for meetings with parents and any external professionals that visit.
