We offer a range of interventions and personalised learning strategies to ensure every individual pupil’s needs are taken into consideration and appropriate support is provided.

We want all our pupils to have a love for learning but we realise that some pupils need this aspect of their school lives nurturing. We want all our pupils to reach their full potential but we know for some pupils practical help will be needed. We also want our pupils to recognise their individual talents and abilities and achieve their goals.

The Inclusion Team comprises of a wide range of specialists who work together with parents and carers to help pupils achieve their best and feel included in all the opportunities on offer at South Hunsley.

The primary focus of the Inclusion Team therefore, is to constantly review how we support our pupils and ask the most important question: what does this pupil or group of students need and how can we meet those needs?

The efforts of our Inclusion Team have been recognised by Ofsted who praised the ‘high quality additional support and care’ provided to those students who might need some practical help or extra guidance to make sure they have every opportunity to grow and flourish as individuals.

Our team works across the school in conjunction with other departments to deliver a range of support and interventions that include:

On-site facilities for pupils with a sensory or physical disability include specialist shower and toilets, sound proofing, height adjustable tables, ramps and non-slip surfacing. All subjects can also be accommodated on the ground floor to support wheelchair users.

All applications for admission to South Hunsley from pupils with special educational needs are carefully assessed to ensure we have the necessary facilities and support in place to be able to provide a high quality programme.
