SEND

Intent

At Millbrook Combined School, we aspire to create an inclusive and nurturing environment where every child—regardless of ability—can thrive. We are committed to supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities through high-quality, tailored provision that promotes:

• Aspiration – Encouraging every child to aim high and believe in their potential.
• Success – Celebrating achievements, both big and small, in a supportive setting.
• Pride – Fostering confidence and self-worth in all learners.
• Integrity – Building trust through honest, respectful relationships.
• Resilience – Supporting children to overcome challenges and grow stronger.
• Equality – Ensuring fair access to opportunities and removing barriers to learning.

Working in partnership with families, staff, governors, and external agencies, we strive to ensure that all children enjoy learning and achieve success in a healthy, happy and inclusive school community.

Early Identification and Intervention

At Millbrook Combined School, we are committed to identifying learning needs and barriers as early as possible to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive. This process relies on a collaborative partnership between staff and parents, built on trust, shared insights, and open communication.

Together, we aim to:

• Recognise early signs of developmental or learning challenges.

• Implement universal and targeted support tailored to individual needs.

• Monitor progress and adapt strategies to ensure effectiveness.

• Empower families to actively engage in their child’s learning journey.

Early identification is not a one-off event but an ongoing, responsive process that helps us create an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all.
