Our Approach

Beaulieu Park School is an inclusive, mainstream school where all pupils are expected to succeed.

Our approach to SEND is built around high-quality teaching, clear routines and a focus on independence. We aim to ensure that all pupils can access an ambitious curriculum and develop the confidence, knowledge and skills they need for the future.

Teachers are central to this support. They are responsible for adapting their teaching to meet pupils’ needs, supported where appropriate by our SEND team.

Prospective Parents

Some pupils join us with identified SEND; for others, needs may emerge over time. We work closely with families, previous settings and external professionals to ensure the right support is in place.

We welcome conversations with prospective parents who would like a general discussion about their child’s needs and how we would support them at Beaulieu.

How Support Works

Our provision is tailored to the individual and is rooted in mainstream classroom learning wherever possible.

Support may include:

• Adapted teaching within lessons
• Targeted support from trained staff where appropriate
• Input from external specialists

The aim is always to promote independence, inclusion and long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my child have a 1:1 teaching assistant?
Not usually. Pupils are supported primarily through high-quality teaching. Additional adult support is used where clearly needed, particularly where specified in an EHCP, and is focused on developing independence rather than reliance.

Do you have a staffed base or ‘time out’ room?
No. Pupils are supported within lessons through strong routines, clear expectations and a calm classroom environment. Where additional support is needed, staff will respond appropriately.

Is the site accessible?
Yes. The school is fully accessible, with lifts, wide doorways and suitable workspaces across the site.

How will you support transition?
We work closely with previous settings to understand each pupil’s needs and ensure continuity of support. Transitions between year groups and key stages are carefully planned.

Who should I contact if I have concerns?
Your child’s teacher is the first point of contact. You can also contact the SEND team via the email above.
