On 1st September 2014, new legislation came into effect for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The SEND Code of Practice: 0-25 years (DfE, January 2015) provides schools with statutory guidance to ensure that the right provision is provided for all pupils with SEND so that they succeed with their education and make a successful transition to adulthood.

Valuing ~ Growing ~ Flourishing

At Broadwas, we value the abilities and achievements of all our children and we are proud to be an inclusive school. As they grow, we aim to provide all our pupils with access to a broad and balanced curriculum, adapting it as necessary through differentiation, additional resources and adult support. It is a privilege to see our children flourish during their time with us.

Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo) is Mrs Karen Smith (senco@broadwas.worcs.sch.uk). 

Mrs Kate Leach is our SEND Governor. She can be contacted via office@broadwas.worcs.sch.uk.

The Worcestershire SEND Local Offer and the Herefordshire SEND Local Offer contain information and advice for families with children and young people with SEN and/or disabilities. Each authority also has a specific Neurodivergence Zone (accessed within the Local Offer) with information about how to support neurodiverse children, including diagnostic pathways, education support, support groups and forums.

Herefordshire and Worcestershire SENDIASS (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service) offer free, accessible and confidential advice, providing impartial information and support for parents, on all matters relating to children and young people with SEND.
