Our offer for SEND - Parent/Carers FAQs
At Imperial College Early Years we aim to provide all children with a broad and balanced learning environment that is committed to the Inclusion of children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities.
Our philosophy is that all children with or without Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities should have the opportunity to develop to their full potential alongside other children in the educational environment and have equal access to the curriculum, as set out in the Early Years Foundation stage framework (EYFS) (2017).
We aim to work within the guidelines for children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities set out in the SEND Code of Practice January 2015 and the SEN tool kit October 2017. At the EYEC our educational provisions will match the four areas of need, as defined in the SEND Code of Practice January 2015:
- Communication and interaction
- Cognition and learning
- Social, emotional and mental health
- Sensory and/or physical needs.
