SEND
Welcome to our SEND Page
At Hipsburn Primary School, we are committed to providing an inclusive, supportive, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. We believe that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, have the right to experience a broad, balanced, and accessible curriculum that enables them to make strong progress and feel valued as part of our school community.
How We Support Your Child
We use a graduated approach to identify, assess, and support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Our provision is tailored across the four main areas of need:
- Communication and Interaction
- Cognition and Learning
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health
- Sensory and/or Physical Needs
Support may include Quality First Teaching, targeted in-class interventions, small-group work, or 1:1 support depending on the child's individual needs and Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Working in Partnership with Parents
We know that parents and carers know their children best. We work in close collaboration with families to create personalised learning plans, review progress, and ensure you are fully involved in your child's educational journey.

Colour Vision Deficiency
Approximately 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females are affected by Colour Vision Deficiency which can present some barriers to a child’s learning. The difficulty for schools is establishing which children in their school are affected by Colour Vision Deficiency. Subsequently, parents and guardians should be encouraged to have their child’s vision tested on a regular basis, the NHS guidelines state at least once every two years. Colour vision tests do not usually form part of the routine NHS eye test but can be specifically requested.
Please refer to the poster and leaflet below for further information and recommendations to help children with this condition. The charity www.colourblindawareness.org is also a useful source of information on this subject.
