We believe that every child matters and that the fundamental purpose of education is to prepare students to lead fulfilled, productive, responsible, happy and successful adult lives.
Our vision for children and young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND) is the same as for all children. We strive to ensure access for all to educational excellence in preparing children and young people for their futures, seeking to continually improve attainment and progress for all and secure the highest levels of achievement appropriate to the individual learner.
Our staff welcome students of all abilities. All members of staff at Lift Richmond Park are aware of their role and the responsibility they share for identifying and making effective provision for the additional educational needs and disabilities of students.
Lift Richmond Park actively encourages an effective partnership in developing and implementing a joint approach with the school in meeting additional educational needs. We welcome the involvement of students and their families in the process of assessing and making effective provision for additional educational needs.
We recognise that communication is a vital aspect of our response to our students’ needs, and are constantly looking for new ways to engage with students and their families. The Staff of Lift Richmond Park actively engages in communication with parents/carers and other agencies in meeting the needs of our students.
Lift Richmond Park believes that students should be supported in developing their learning, independence and resilience as well as to reinforce their personal confidence and self-esteem. The staff of Lift Richmond Park recognise that additional educational needs are not static, that students and needs change over time and that all aspects of its policy require review on an annual basis and appropriate adjustments made.

We are committed to ensuring that pupils with medical conditions are fully supported in school so that they can:
If a student has a medical need, they will have a Care Plan, which is compiled in consultation with parents and one of our medical assistants. The plan is discussed with all staff who are involved with the student and is added to the student’s profile, so staff can access it.
Staff receive regular medical training delivered by the school medical assistant and are aware of where they can access further information as required.
Where necessary and in agreement with parents, medicines are administered in school but only with signed parental consent and with medicines in the original packaging.
We welcome students with special educational needs or disabilities and support students across four teams. Students are organised into the teams during their transition from their previous school and it is based on the student’s main area of need. An Area of Need leader will monitor their academic progress and attendance whilst ensuring that the student’s needs were been met both through teaching and structured interventions.
For students with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, or moderate learning difficulties that affect students in a range of cognitive areas.
For students who struggle to engage in the social aspects of school, or who find it hard to cope with challenging emotions. This will range from students needing short-term assistance during a turbulent time in their life, to students with a recognised condition such as ADD or ADHD.
For students who have speech, language and communication needs, a specific language impairment or a range of communication difficulties. Students who find it difficult to interact with others are supported within this area.
Students whose need is primarily sensory and, or physical have their support overseen by the area of need leader in this team. This team would support students with hearing or visual impairments as well as students with physical needs.
