Special Educational Needs and Disability

Barley Hill School prides itself on its inclusive teaching and learning practices.   Our aim is to deliver an exciting and full curriculum that caters for all of the children at Barley Hill, irrespective of need.  The school and the governing body regularly review its provision for children with special needs and ensure that its staff are well prepared and trained.

 How to support us:

We have had requests from families for ways to support our pupils and the work that is done by our wonderful staff to make Barley Hill the inclusive school that it is. We are happy to announce that we have created a wishlist on Amazon for those who would like to support. 

You can add an item from our wishlist as you complete your shopping. The items range in price and quantity. You will see that many of the items are important to helping pupils regulate and thrive at school.
