Dickens Heath Community Primary School
Enabling every child to be the best version of themselves
How are SEND children included to access extra-curricular activities, before and after school childcare and day and residential trips?
We are totally committed to providing an inclusive education for all of our children at Dickens Heath across all aspects of school life.
Clubs are available to all children and reasonable adjustments are made to support participation.
We provide additional adult support where necessary for pupils to attend enrichment clubs, before, and after school childcare, as well as encouraging participation through support from external agencies such as SOLO and through offering a range of inclusive clubs such as inclusive sports of rowing, archery and athletics. Children with a range of needs have participated in our school choirs and brass bands, performing at large venues to many people.
Children are able to participate in a range of educational visits, which are carefully planned by staff to enhance their learning. Before and after school clubs are available to all children and reasonable adjustments are made to support participation. Every possible effort is made to ensure trips and visits are accessible to every child regardless of their needs.
Risk assessments are carried out for each visit and appropriate numbers of adults are made available to accompany the children including 1:1 support if necessary. Where required individual pupil risk assessments will be completed.
