Special Educational Needs

SEND

“Inspiring a community where learning is irresistible, everyone is valued and success is limitless.”

Widney Junior School is an inclusive school and we are committed to offering a broad and balanced curriculum to ensure the best possible outcomes for all of our children. All children are recognised as individuals who have strengths that can be nurtured and areas of difficulty that can be supported. We believe first and foremost in quality first teaching, however, we understand that some children may need further additional support in order to achieve their potential. At Widney, all teachers are teachers of SEND.
