As part of the government’s reforms around special educational needs (SEN) and with the introduction of the new Code of Practice in September 2014, local authorities are required to publish a local offer showing the support available to disabled children and young people and those with SEN and their families and carers.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Report
Disabled Access
At St Aidan’s, we recognise that many of our students, visitors and staff, whether disabled or otherwise, have individual needs when using the school and its facilities. In light of this, we have the following:
- Step – free access
- Disabled parking bays
- Accessible toilets
- Accessible dining area
- A private room for administration of medication
We are also fully compliant for meeting the needs of all children.
A risk assessment carried out and personal evacuation plan will be drawn up for all pupils with physical difficulties. All staff working with the student will be made aware of the plan.
