SEND Offer
Cavendish has a named SENDCo (Mrs Georgie Venn-Coffey) and an appointed named School Governor for SEND (C. Knott). They ensure that the Cavendish Special Educational Needs policy works within the guidelines and inclusion policies of the Code of Practice (2014), the Local Authority and other policies current within the school.
It is the belief that all children have an equal right to a full and rounded education, which will enable them to become successful learners who enjoy have high aspirations, make progress and succeed. We aim to promote emotional literacy and recognise the links between SEND and wellbeing. School will endeavour to secure special educational provision for pupils for whom this is required, that is “additional to and different from” that provided within the differentiated curriculum to better respond to the four areas of need identified in the new Code of Practice (September 2014) which are as follows:
• Communication and interaction;
• Cognition and learning;
• Social, mental and emotional health;
• Sensory/physical
We work within the Hounslow guidance on provision for children with SEND in mainstream schools which explains the ways children with different additional needs are provided for within the school.

The school focuses sharply on getting to know pupils well. This includes pupils who attend the specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Constructive and purposeful collaboration with parents, pupils and supporting professionals helps staff to understand pupils well. Consequently, leaders identify pupils with SEND and pupils who experience other disadvantages very effectively. The school pinpoints any barriers to learning and provides precise support to help pupils learn.
