Baysgarth School - Vision for SEND
To ensure that all students can achieve regardless of their background, special educational need or disability.
We take a holistic approach, offering both social/emotional and academic support, to meet a wide array of SEND needs.
We aim to provide our SEND students with a nurturing environment - an environment in which they can also be prepared for a successful transition into adulthood, with a focus on building skills for increased independence.
The LSAs help you when you get stuck in a lesson. If I have problems the staff have helped me to sort them out. If we have bullying issues the staff look after us and sort those out too. – a Baysgarth student
