At Hazeldene School we strive to meet the needs of all pupils. All staff are aware of SEND and receive high quality information and training. We identify pupils who are making limited progress and provide targeted interventions and support, with parents kept informed throughout the year. The school works with the Local Authority, Health Professionals and community organisations. Relevant documents include SEND Policy (Sept 2025), SEND Information Report, and SEND Complaints Procedure.
