Arrangements for the admission of pupils with disabilities

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 defines a disabled person as one who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a persons’ ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Most children with Special Needs will not be disabled within the meaning of the Act. 

The admission of pupils with disabilities is considered in the first instance in the same way as non-disabled pupils. Further considerations are made in the light of need and accessibility. It is the School Governors’ Policy to accommodate pupils with disabilities should parents wish their child to attend the school.  Steps are taken to prevent any pupils being treated less favourably than other pupils. In practice we ensure that classroom and extra-curricular activities encourage the participation of all pupils, including those categorised as having Special Educational Needs. Staff organise human and physical resources within the school to increase access to learning and participation by all pupils. The School strives to ensure that whatever the abilities and needs of members of the school community, everyone is equally valued and treats one another with respect under the Equality Act 2010. 

Information about the admissions and transition to another school for pupils with SEND:  

Pupils with SEND can find change challenging, this includes when they move school. Whether pupils are starting school, moving from one school to another or they are moving on to secondary school, our SENDCo, Mrs Lucy Chapman will work with settings and families to develop a transition plan which can be beneficial for pupils with SEND as it ensures that Sutton staff or staff at the new school are fully informed of their needs.

Please see our Admissions and SEND Policies for further information about the admissions process for pupils with an EHCP.
