“Without confidence and love, there can be no true education. If you want to be loved…you must love yourselves, and make your children feel that you love them.” (St John Bosco)
At St John Bosco College we believe that every child has the right to an education that is tailored specifically for their needs. Inclusivity is paramount for every child. Our staff are extremely dedicated in finding strategies and different teaching approaches to make sure that every child is able to access the curriculum and achieve their goals.
The Governing Body believes that the admission criteria should not discriminate against students with SEN.
The school provides for students with a wide range of both abilities and needs. Places for children with or without a special educational need are allocated in line with the whole school admissions policy of the Governing Body.
The SEN Disability Act 2001 (SENDA) strengthens the right of all children to be educated within mainstream schools. The Act stipulates that children with statements of SEN must be educated in mainstream schools unless:
All reasonable steps must be taken to ensure that students can be included. When a maintained school is named in a child’s statement, the school must admit the child. The Local Authority (LA) must consult the school before naming the school.
