SEN
At Barton Court Grammar School, we are committed to High Quality Inclusive Teaching and personalised teaching, in accordance with the SEN Code of Practice 2015.
Learners needs are met through a graduated approach starting at a whole-school level of personalised teaching, with additional support that can be introduced to overcome barriers. Provision should continually evolve with our students’ development to maximise on successes and to overcome emergent or developing needs. We are committed to working with all families and the community to support our students. If a student with SEND is not making their expected progress we offer targeted intervention and whole-school initiatives as outlined in the links on this page.
We have a commitment to high quality and meaningful teaching and learning, captured in our Teaching and Learning policy.
What is the Special Educational Needs (SEN) information report?

Our school building is accessible via lifts and has disabled toilets. Our SEND and equalities policies can be found on our website and any queries can be directed to our SENCo Mr N Harvey via SEND@bartoncourt.org

Our Team:
Mr N Harvey - SENCo - E-Mail: SEND@bartoncourt.org
Mr Harvey, our SENCo, works to ensure excellence in SEN provision. In school the SEN Department works alongside our team of Learning Mentors who provide 1:1 learning support in our learning resource centre and wellbeing room as well as classroom-based support. The interventions provided are tailor made to the student and their specific learning need.
The wellbeing room is staffed by a full time SENCO assistant Mr Chapman.
Inclusive Classroom
Our Vision Statement, ‘No one gets left behind’, represents our inclusive approach to education. We believe that all pupils have a right to access every opportunity that school offers; teachers and support staff are key to enabling pupils to do this. The ‘5 Cs’ provide a handy reminder to staff that they can adapt their approach to meet the needs of nearly all pupils.
