Special Education Needs and Disabilities Faculty (SEND)
Leaders, staff and pupils share the view that Shevington includes everyone. This ethos runs through every strand of school life.
"Teachers use information that they have about pupils to make highly effective adaptations."
"This means that all pupils have equal access to the curriculum."
"Teachers say that SEND training has helped them to improve their teaching. This is true."
- Ofsted 2026
The SEND team ensures the delivery of Shevington High School’s vision of entitlement and equality for all our young people, regardless of any learning needs and disabilities. We embrace working together as a school, alongside parents and other agencies to support each pupil to ultimate success and personal achievement, so they are ready to be valued and inspiring citizens in our modern society.
Shevington High School has a personalised approach to each young person in our school community. We are committed to nurturing and supporting our pupils to be ambitious, creative and resilient learners.
