Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Welcome to the SEND section of our school website
At Tillingbourne Junior School, we are committed to ensuring that every child — whatever their needs or abilities — is valued, respected and given the opportunity to succeed. As a Rights Respecting School, our SEND provision is underpinned by our core rights: the Right to Learn, the Right to Be Heard, and the Right to Be Me.
We believe all children can achieve more than they thought possible. Our aim is to support every pupil to realise their potential, develop their strengths and talents, and grow in confidence and self-esteem.
Working in partnership with pupils, parents and carers, and outside agencies, we provide a wide range of support and interventions through the Graduated Approach – Assess, Plan, Do, Review.
The SEND Code of Practice (2014) identifies four main areas of need, which guide our approach:
-
Communication and Interaction
-
Cognition and Learning
-
Social, Emotional and Mental Health
-
Physical and Sensory Needs
In addition to classroom support, children may also benefit from small-group interventions, pastoral support, adapted resources or specialist input tailored to their needs.

We warmly encourage you to visit our school and see our inclusive approach in action. Please contact the school office to arrange a meeting with our SENDCO, who will be happy to talk through the support we can provide.
Together, we ensure that every child is given the chance to thrive.
