At Hillstone Primary School, we enable our children to achieve academic success through a rich, diverse and inclusive curriculum. We provide many opportunities for our children to be motivated and enjoy learning through educational visits, residential activities and a variety of visitors who bring different experiences of life. It is important to us that every child is valued and their talents, skills and unique qualities are recognised. We believe in developing the whole child and actively promote and encourage a healthy lifestyle.
All schools are required to publish an SEN report which outlines their graduated approach to identifying and supporting pupils with SEN.
All schools must publish a school SEN policy to describe the school provision for pupils with SEN.
All schools must comply with government legislation and have an Access Audit and an Accessibility Plan which is reviewed every 3 years. The purpose of this plan is to show how this school intends, over time, to increase the accessibility of our school for disabled pupils.
