SEND – Curriculum Drivers

Language – The importance of language is undeniable and language development is crucial. We strive for our SEND children to be able to communicate in a variety of ways with meaning to a range of audiences. At St Oswald’s, we encourage all
children the use of a wide vocabulary, good listening skills and a high level of literacy to become confident readers and writers. (Faith in Our Voice).

Diversity and Inclusion – Not only does creating greater multicultural and inclusive awareness of all, help children and adults with different backgrounds and needs succeed; it also celebrates differences; encourages acceptance and helps prepare SEND children to thrive in an ever changing and diverse world. (Faith in Others).

Resilience – We want all our SEND children to understand the need to persevere and develop the emotional and physical security needed to become resilient
individuals who are able to take risks, not ‘give up’ and deal with different barriers and challenges faced on a daily basis and having the confidence to ‘have a go’.
(Faith in Ourselves)

Enrichment – With identified support put in place, enrichment activities offer equal opportunities for all SEND pupils to develop their cultural capital by providing opportunities they may not have had otherwise. (Faith in Our Journey)
