Lift Caldicotes is an inclusive setting for all children and families.
At Caldicotes we aim to, "challenge and inspire all to have ambition and achieve their potential," which includes children with special educational needs (SEND) and those who are more able, gifted or talented (MAG&T). As part of our Inclusive ethos, we recognise that: a child does not have a learning difficulty solely because; their home language is different from that spoken in school; they are looked after by the local authority; they suffer from mental health issues; they have a medical problem. The needs of all vulnerable groups are met through careful identification, assessment and monitoring procedures in line with the SEND Code of Practice (January 2015.)
All class teachers differentiate the class work to meet the needs of individual children as part of the high quality teaching and learning provision within the school.
The Government provides some advice for parents and carers about Special Educational Needs and Disabilities which you can access here https://www.gov.uk/children-with-special-educational-needs

We are committed to ensuring that pupils with medical conditions are fully supported in school so that they can:
If a student has a medical need, they will have a Care Plan, which is compiled in consultation with parents and one of our medical assistants. The plan is discussed with all staff who are involved with the student and is added to the student’s profile, so staff can access it.
Staff receive regular medical training delivered by the school medical assistant and are aware of where they can access further information as required.
Where necessary and in agreement with parents, medicines are administered in school but only with signed parental consent and with medicines in the original packaging.
We welcome students with special educational needs or disabilities and support students across four teams. Students are organised into the teams during their transition from their previous school and it is based on the student’s main area of need. An Area of Need leader will monitor their academic progress and attendance whilst ensuring that the student’s needs were been met both through teaching and structured interventions.
For students with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, or moderate learning difficulties that affect students in a range of cognitive areas.
For students who struggle to engage in the social aspects of school, or who find it hard to cope with challenging emotions. This will range from students needing short-term assistance during a turbulent time in their life, to students with a recognised condition such as ADD or ADHD.
For students who have speech, language and communication needs, a specific language impairment or a range of communication difficulties. Students who find it difficult to interact with others are supported within this area.
Students whose need is primarily sensory and, or physical have their support overseen by the area of need leader in this team. This team would support students with hearing or visual impairments as well as students with physical needs.
