SEND

At Arnesby we value the individuality of every child and acknowledge the importance of supporting and encouraging every child to achieve well. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum so that all children can aspire to the highest level of personal achievement. This approach helps to ensure that our school promotes the individuality of all our children, irrespective of special educational needs, disability, attainment, ethnicity, age, gender or background.

Mrs James is our Special Educational Needs Coordinator and she can be contacted via email at office@arnesby.embracemat.org

Our SEND vision aligns with our school values as we see that every child is unique and a child of God.
