Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
At Hotspur every child is seen as a valued and unique individual and we aim to provide a safe, supportive, creative, friendly and fun environment where all pupils can flourish:
- We nurture our children, taking good care to consider and cater for their varied life experiences, particular needs and learning preferences.
- We are committed to providing an education that enables every child to make and acknowledge progress.
- We endeavour to provide a fulfilling learning experience, underpinned by high and realistic expectations, that encourages every child to achieve their best, socially, emotionally and academically.
- We seek for every child to become an increasingly confident young person, preparing them for a successful transition into Secondary Education.

At Hotspur we are proud of our inclusive teaching approach this is also known as quality first teaching. The principles of this are outlined in our Essence of Teaching document. This inclusive approach is for every child at Hotspur and greatly benefits our children with SEND.
