Schools Accessibility Strategy

Each Local Authority in the UK has a legal requirement to ensure that all children and young people with SEND have access to the National Curriculum. All Local Authorities are required to publish an Accessibility Strategy.  

The overall aim is to ensure that North Somerset supports schools in meeting the needs of disabled pupils and enabling them to achieve aspirational outcomes. The strategy supports and encourages schools to ensure that all students can access the curriculum, use school facilities and be part of the school community.

Accessibility Planning is required to:

  • Increase the extent to which disabled pupils can participate in the curriculum
  • Improve the physical environment of all schools to enable disabled pupils to take better advantage of education, benefits, facilities and services provided

All schools are required to have a SEN Policy and also to publish an SEN Information Report which sets out how they identify the needs of and support pupils with SEND. You should be able to find this on the school's website, as part of the Local Offer.
