Our Commitment to Inclusion
At Stone Cross School, we believe that every child is unique, and every child deserves the opportunity to flourish. We are proud to be an inclusive school where pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are welcomed, valued, and supported to achieve their full potential.
Our approach is rooted in:
- High expectations for all learners
- A nurturing, caring environment
- Strong relationships with families
- Early identification and personalised support
- A belief that inclusion enriches our whole school community
We work closely with parents, carers, and external professionals to ensure that every child receives the right support at the right time.
What SEND means at Stone Cross School
SEND refers to children who may need additional support with:
- Communication and interaction
- Cognition and learning
- Social, emotional, and mental health
- Sensory or physical needs
We recognise that children’s needs can change over time, and we adapt our provision accordingly.
If you are unsure whether your child may have SEND, please speak to us, we are here to help.
Our Inclusive Approach
We follow the Graduated Approach (Assess–Plan–Do–Review), ensuring that support is:
- Tailored to each child
- Regularly reviewed
- Delivered in partnership with families
- Focused on progress and wellbeing
Teachers, support staff, and our SENCO work together to create a learning environment where all children feel confident, safe, and able to succeed.
You can learn more about this on our Graduated Approach page.
Working in Partnership with Families
We know that parents and carers are the experts on their children. We build strong, open relationships by:
- Listening carefully to your concerns
- Involving you in every stage of support
- Speaking regularly to review progress
- Offering clear, honest communication
