Special Educational Needs and/or Disability
SEND at Baguley Hall
Our mission for children with special educational needs and disabilities is the same as for all children – that they achieve their full potential and are successfully prepared for their positive futures in the community. Here at Baguley Hall, we are committed to giving every child a broad and balanced curriculum, with reasonable adjustments provided for every individual need. We work in close partnership with parents and carers to understand every child's unique situation, valuing and trusting their input in all stages of the SEND process.
We work on a constant reflective cycle with our pupils; carrying out assessments, planning according to the identified individual needs, delivering tailored provision, and regularly reviewing the impact to ensure effectiveness and make adjustments accordingly.
Our SENDCOs:
Miss Orme - for Nursery, Reception, Year 5, Year 6
Mrs Whitesmith - for Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

One part of the Local Offer is Short Breaks - services for disabled children and young people with Special Educational Needs, rare disorders and chronic medical conditions age 0 - 17 years inclusive.
A short break can range from an activity which lasts an hour or two through to a few days away from home, and includes day, evening, overnight, weekend and holiday activities. These activities provide a positive experience for the child as well as giving parents and carers a break from their caring duties.
