At Highworth Warneford School we have high aspirations and expectations for all pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and we believe that SEND is a whole school responsibility.

We focus on outcomes for children with SEND and are supported by clear communication between parents, students, teachers, other school staff, and external practitioners. Every pupil with SEND has their own unique educational needs, and at Highworth Warneford School we are committed to providing a tailored curriculum where adaptations and support are put into place without limiting the breadth of students' curricular experience. 

  As such, Highworth Warneford School is ambitious for all pupils with SEND, and we believe that appropriate assessment of need and then comprehensive planning with parents and carers leads to effective support and interventions. Regular review and re-assessment mean that we are able to ensure there is a focus on preparedness for the next stage of the students' lives and this drives high aspirations for the future, which in turn ensures that students with SEND achieve exceptionally well when they leave the Trust in Year 13 or in the school in Year 11. 

For further information, we invite you to contact us and/or arrange a visit to discuss individual student needs. Please also see the links below for further information.
