We strive hard to ensure that all pupils: - have a wide and balanced curriculum which is differentiated to meet individual needs - can learn and make progress according to their individual developmental trends - are assessed using appropriate assessment tools and guidelines - having equal access to resources, provision and interventions as needed. Special educational provision is educational or training provision that is additional to or different from that made generally for others of the same age. This means provision that goes beyond the differentiated approaches and learning arrangements normally provided as part of high quality, personalised teaching. It may take the form of additional support from within a setting or it may require involvement of specalist staff or support services. Our School has a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator ("SENCO"), Mrs Gemma Blake -Hatton, who is responsible for the management of provision and support for identified pupils with SEND. Our SENCO, also support teachers and other staff to enable them to provide appropriate assessment and focused provision for children in their class with SEND. Mrs Blake Hatton can be contacted via the school office - office@ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk All teachers are teachers of SEN pupils and as such provide quality first teaching which takes account of the particular individuals needs of pupils with SEND within the classroom. ### SEND and inclusion Equality Policy 112 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/Racial_Equality_-_Dec_25.docx) Local Offer 105 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/SEND_-_JUN_26_-_Local_Offer_(2).docx) SEND Policy 182 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/SEND_-_March_2026_(1)_(2).docx) Accessibility Statement 86 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/Accessibility_Statement_-_Oct_24.docx) If you wish to make a complaint regarding any Special Educational Needs provision please follow the complaints procedure below. ### Complaints Policy Complaints Policy 133 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/Complaints_Policy_and_Procedure_July_25_(1).docx) #### [Applications for SEND school places. ](https://ashurst-wood-primary-school.schudio.com/information-for-parents-and-carers/admissions) **WSPCF GUIDES and link to the Graduated Approach Presentation for Parents/Carers.** [Graduated Approach Presentation](https://youtu.be/aDZ2M7qQ01Y) ### WSPCF Guides WSPCF-Guide-to-SEND-Support-in-Mainstream 1.74 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/WSPCF-Guide-to-SEND-Support-in-Mainstream.pdf) Sensory-Package 1.46 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/Sensory-Package.pdf) Transition Toolkit v2 843 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/Transition_Toolkit_v2.pdf) WSPCF Parent Carer Engagement Toolkit for Schools 1.93 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/WSPCF_Parent_Carer_Engagement_Toolkit_for_Schools.pdf) oaip 1.05 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/ashurst-wood-primary-school-2/files/documents/oaip.pdf) ### Key Information - [Policies](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/policies) - [School Performance Tables](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/school-performance-tables) - [GDPR](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/gdpr) - [Special Educational Needs](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/special-educational-needs) - [HET SEND Information Report Sep 2026](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/special-educational-needs/ashurst-wood-send-information-report-september-2026) - [Ofsted](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/ofsted) - [Safeguarding](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/safeguarding) - [Additional Funding](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/) - [Financial Information](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/key-information/financial-information) - [Equality and Accessibility](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/equality-and-accessibility) ##### Location School Lane Ashurst Wood East Grinstead West Sussex RH19 3QW ##### Contact Us 01342 822584 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566847525863) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/ashurstwoodprimary?igsh=cndpNDFnMmRqdWFl) © Copyright 2022–2026 Ashurst Wood Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://ashurstwoodprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
