SEN Information Report

Croft Community School is a specialist setting for pupils with moderate learning difficulties and autism. Our SEND Information Report explains the support available for pupils, how needs are identified and reviewed, how families are involved in decision making and how pupils are supported to make progress and prepare for adulthood.

Our SEND Ethos

At Croft Community School, we believe every pupil deserves an ambitious, personalised education that enables them to achieve their full potential. We celebrate individual strengths, remove barriers to learning and prepare pupils for successful, fulfilling adult lives.


Identification and Assessment

All pupils have identified special educational needs. We use information from EHCPs, teacher assessments, observations and advice from external professionals to identify needs, monitor progress and plan appropriate support. Provision is reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to meet each pupil’s needs.


Working with Parents

We value parents and carers as key partners in their child’s education. Families are involved through annual reviews, EHCP meetings, parents’ evenings, regular communication and transition planning. We work closely together to ensure the best possible outcomes for every pupil.


Preparing for Adulthood

Preparation for adulthood is embedded throughout our curriculum. We support pupils to develop:

  • Skills for employment and further education
  • Independence and daily living skills
  • Positive relationships and community participation
  • Physical, emotional and mental well-being

Transition planning begins early and is reviewed regularly to help pupils prepare for their future.


Complaints Process

We aim to resolve concerns quickly and positively.

  1. Speak to the relevant member of staff to discuss your concern.
  2. If the matter remains unresolved, submit a formal complaint to the Headteacher.
  3. If you are still dissatisfied, you may request a review by the Governing Body.

Further details can be found in our Complaints Policy. Paper copies are available from the school office on request.
