Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Our aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, in line with the National Curriculum 2014, that will encourage all children to reach their full potential. Our curriculum reflects the school’s local context. Children begin their educational journey at Parsons Down from a range of backgrounds and life experiences and our curriculum is designed to broaden their understanding of the world they live in.
​
Our school Inclusion Manager is Ms Laura Street. She can be contacted via the school office, 01635 866700.
​
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) encompasses a broad spectrum including learning difficulties, health and medical problems, physical disabilities and emotional, social and behavioural difficulties.
