SPECIAL NEEDS
Individual needs and equal opportunities
The school aims to provide a caring, challenging
community. We value the individual and seek to enable each girl
to develop and maximise her full potential. This means catering
for the full range of abilities within the school.
We have a designated teacher with Special Needs
responsibility who co-ordinates the work within school and also
liaises as necessary with outside agencies such as Educational Social
Workers, Social Services, and the Educational Psychologist. Our
school health advisor visits the school when requested and helps
to organise the vaccination programme. Girls are welcome to consult
her on an individual basis. Through the Relate agency, a counselling
service is available in school one day a week.
The school has a policy of promoting equality
of opportunity, and eliminating unlawful discrimination, for all
members of the school community. Facilities for disabled access
exist – such as ramps, handrails and disabled toilets –
and arrangements are in place for ground floor lessons and student
porterage where necessary.
