SEND Local Offer

At Ethos College, we understand that children and young people may have diverse needs, including: cognition and learning challenges; communication and interaction difficulties; social, emotional and mental health difficulties; as well as sensory and/or physical impairments.  

To ensure our pupils receive the best possible support, we collaborate with a wide range of agencies, specialist services, and healthcare professionals. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to accurately identify needs and implement effective strategies tailored to each individual, fostering an environment where every pupil can thrive.
