At Buswells Lodge we want to make sure that every child gets the best support we can offer, in order to help them enjoy their learning, feel confident and feel happy amongst their friends, and make the best possible progress.  This is in line with the guidance document 'Leicester City’s BERA Framework - delivering high quality SEND provision, the application of Best Endeavours and Reasonable Adjustments within a mainstream setting.'

Every child has individual needs that will affect their learning.  Sometimes children need special support to give them an extra boost or to help them catch up with other children of the same age. They may need this support for a short time or a longer period, but during this time they will be part of our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Register and we will keep a close eye on their progress, look carefully at what special support they need and keep in touch with their parents.

If you have any queries relating to the type of support we use in school, please contact the SENDCo through the school office, or via the contact form below.

Key SEND Staff
