Special Educational Needs at Overton Grange School
At Overton Grange School we are committed to providing an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all students, whatever their needs or abilities. This includes the Opportunity Base for hearing impaired students who have an Education and Health Care Plan.
Not all students with disabilities have special educational needs (SEN) and not all students with SEN meet the definition of disability, but this policy covers all of these students.

Sutton LA Local Offer (external website)
To prevent disabled students from being treated less favourably than other students, the school conforms with the Equality Act 2010. More details can be found within the SEND Information report above. The school’s accessibility plan can be found here, as an appendix to the Equal Opportunities policy. The plan sets out how the school is:
increasing the extent to which disabled pupils can participate in the school’s curriculum
improving the physical environment of the school for the purpose of increasing the extent to which disabled pupils are able to take advantage of education and benefits, facilities or services provided or offered by the school
improving the delivery to disabled pupils of information which is readily accessible to pupils who are not disabled
Autism, Identity & Me - book launched
Rebecca Duffus, Autism teacher at Cognus Ltd, has created an extensive guide for school staff and parents/carers to help young people shape their identity and contribute to positive self-esteem inside and outside the classroom. The guide, called ‘Autism, Identity & Me’ is accompanied by an easy-to-follow workbook for young people to give them the tools to feel empowered by their autistic identity and view their differences in a positive way.
