Greenfield Community College is a caring, inclusive and creative school and actively seeks to promote the inclusion of students with SEND. We use our best endeavours to ensure that all students with SEN and disabilities are able to fully participate in the life of the school, both in their learning and in the wider provision and life of the school.
All schools have duties under the Equality Act 2010 towards individual disabled children and young people. They must make reasonable adjustments to prevent them being put at a substantial disadvantage. Schools also have wider duties to prevent discrimination, to promote equality of opportunity and to foster good relations’ (Quotations taken from the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years. Published June 2014 for implementation in September 2014.)
Adaptations and provisions are made for SEN and disabled students to enable them to participate in all school trips and other out of class activities.
Students with SEND are actively encouraged, supported and given opportunities to become involved with extra-curricular activities.
Existing facilities to assist physical access to the school
• Disabled toilet facilities
• Lifts and ramps
• Appropriate external and internal doors enable wheelchair access
• An accessible learning area is available for students with a temporary impairment or medical condition, which prevents them accessing upstairs classrooms
