SEND Support | Bosworth School

Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At Bosworth Independent School, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to flourish — academically, socially, and personally. We are proud of our inclusive ethos and we are committed to ensuring that all learners, regardless of need or background, are supported to achieve their full potential.

Our Approach

Our approach to supporting students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is rooted in individual care, early identification, and tailored provision. We recognise that each student is unique, and we work closely with families, teachers, and external specialists to create a learning environment that is both nurturing and ambitious.

We aim to:

Identify barriers to learning early and respond proactively.
Provide targeted support that builds confidence, independence and resilience.
Ensure that every member of staff understands their role in supporting inclusive education.
Promote open communication between school, home, and students.

Support in Practice

Our SENDCo oversees the provision for students requiring additional support. This includes:

Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) that outline strategies and adjustments specific to each learner.
In-class support from teachers trained in adaptive and differentiated teaching.
Access arrangements and reasonable adjustments for examinations, as appropriate.

Collaboration and Communication

We value strong partnerships with parents and guardians. Regular reviews and meetings ensure that progress is monitored, targets are updated, and support remains responsive to each student’s changing needs. Where appropriate, we also work with external professionals to ensure students receive specialist input and assessment of needs.

A Whole-School Commitment

Inclusion is at the heart of who we are and what we do at Bosworth. All teachers share responsibility for supporting students with SEND, and staff receive ongoing professional development to ensure best practice. We believe that diversity enriches our school and that every learner brings valuable perspectives and strengths to our shared experience.

Testimonials

Xander appreciates the support given by the teachers, and staff and the accommodation of his lunch requirements and need for quiet space to decompress. The calm and friendly atmosphere of the school is something that really works for Xander and his needs.

They have been amazing and I say this from what I hear from my child. The support she didn’t receive at her old school she has received that and more at Bosworth. She seems like she’s heard at the school and her send needs are seen as important. Which I believe makes a massive difference to a child who’s vulnerable.

The direct SEND team have been really good at supporting my child with his anxieties. When he first joined Bosworth after some challenges of adapting to alternative/larger school environments , the team at Bosworth were able to work with us to get him comfortable and settled. Likewise, with anxieties relating to tests and assessments, the team have made adaptations that have helped him to gradually become more comfortable with these. He particularly has a good relationship with Mrs Kainth as a ‘go-to’ person which has help him feel confident at Bosworth.
