Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
VISION – The SEND team at David Nieper Academy will support all our pupils to reach their full potential by providing inclusive, proactive, professional and flexible care – where every child is supported to reach their full potential, regardless of their needs, through mentoring, strong partnerships, high expectations and personalised support.
Extract from Children and Families Act 2014 (Section 20)
1) A child or young person has special educational needs if he or she has a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.
2) A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:-
• has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or
• has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions.
3) A child under compulsory school age has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she is likely to be within subsection (2) when of compulsory school age (or would be likely, if no special educational provision were made).
4) A child or young person does not have a learning difficulty or disability solely because the language (or form of language) in which he or she is or will be taught is different from a language (or form of language) which is or has been spoken at home.
5) This section applies for the purposes of this Part.
