CBS SEN Vision Statement 

Christian values are at the heart of everything we do at Chesham Bois CE School. Inclusion, and valuing the diversity and richness of our community, is central to our daily practice. Every child, regardless of their needs, faith, ability, gender, ethnicity, background or circumstances, is valued, nurtured and supported to become an independent learner who fulfils their potential.

We are committed to ensuring that every child experiences the journey of a CBS child. Individual strengths, talents and achievements are celebrated and valued by all members of our school community.

We are dedicated to ensuring that appropriate provision is in place for all children with additional needs. By removing barriers to learning and creating equitable access to opportunities, we enable every child to reach their full potential and to be well prepared for the next stage of their education. We believe that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) can thrive and be the very best they can be both academically and socially and emotionally; developing self-belief, positive wellbeing alongside academic success.

We achieve this by:

Providing an inclusive, high-quality universal offer built on strong collaboration and effective information sharing.

Delivering a challenging curriculum with high expectations and ambition for all learners.

Placing the child, their interests and their individual strengths at the centre of their learning journey.

Embedding nurture, positive relationships and our CARE culture throughout school life.

Working in close partnership with parents and carers.

Maintaining a "keep pace with peers" approach rather than a "catch up with peers" model through targeted pre- and post-teaching interventions, while also using technology to support adaptive teaching and increase access to learning.

We have carefully considered our physical and learning environments to ensure they are as inclusive, accessible and responsive as possible to the diverse needs of all learners in our context. Through thoughtful classroom design, consistency across the school, visual supports, adaptive resources and predictable routines and language, we aim to create spaces where children feel safe, supported and able to thrive.

Here are some resources shared by our parents of children with SEND.  These resources have been very helpful to them and their families on their child's educational journey through school. If you have something you would like to include that has been particularly useful for you, please do email the school office.
