The SEN Information Report was reviewed and updated on 15/05/2023.

This SEND Information Report should be read alongside the school’s SEND Policy, the Equalities Information and Objectives and the Accessibility Plan which can be found in the School Policies section of our website.

At Byerley Park Primary School we are committed to the equal inclusion of all pupils in all areas of Early Years and Primary School life. We recognise the diverse and individual needs of all of our pupils and take into account the additional support required by those children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

At Byerley Park Primary School we have appointed a Designated Teacher for Looked after Children who works closely with the SENDCO to ensure all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who are looked after and have SEND.

At Byerley Park Primary School we ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs make the best possible progress.
