Special Educational Needs and Disabilities ​

​​Thomas Jones School is an inclusive school and we believe in the equality of opportunities for all children including those whose needs are defined in the SEND Code of Practice 2014 under these four areas:
  • Communication and interaction
  • Cognition and Learning
  • Social, emotional and mental health
  • Sensory and/or physical needs
The school has clearly set out admissions criteria based on the location of a pupil’s home and whether they have siblings attending the school. If a pupil has a Statement of Special Educational Needs or an Educational Healthcare Plan (EHCP), there is a process by which parents and carers can name the school as their first choice. In this case, the Local Authority will approach the school on the parents’ behalf. The Head teacher, in consultation with the Governing Body, will consider whether the school can meet all the specific needs of the pupil.
