SEN Information

Sherburn High School is proud of its highly inclusive ethos. We adopt  a whole school approach to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. All staff work together to ensure the inclusion of all students. We are committed to ensuring that students with SEND achieve their full potential. This commitment is embodied by our mission statement: ‘Achievement for All”.

We believe in positive interventions,  which remove barriers to learning, raise  expectations and accelerate levels of achievement.

We work in partnership with other agencies to ensure that all our SEND students have a positive educational experience. Their wellbeing, personal development, progress and success is achieved through our:

  • A child centred approach – the students are at the centre of our provision to improve attainment and progression;
  • An environment where staff can collaborate and develop professionally to improve the quality of provision;
  • A collaborative approach to ensure that parents/ carers, young people and outside agencies work alongside Sherburn High School to ensure our students receive the best possible provision.

Our aim is to continually improve inclusion by supporting the education of some of the most vulnerable students. With our student centred approach, we endeavour  to provide the best possible outcomes for our students. We value and encourage the involvement of parents and carers in their child’s SEND journey and actively seek their support to ensure there truly can be ‘Achievement for All’ at Sherburn High School.
