Student Support and SEND

Our Commitment to Inclusion and SEND Support

At Durham Sixth Form Centre, we have high expectations of all of our students and aim to ensure that we provide them with a high quality education and effective support so that they are able to maximise their fullest potential both academically and personally. We believe in creating an inclusive learning community that recognises achievements and celebrates the successes of all young people and as an integral part of our inclusion and equal opportunities agenda we endeavour to actively cater to the needs of our students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We achieve this by making reasonable adjustments to teaching, the curriculum and, where possible, the school environment to make sure that students with SEND are included in all aspects of school life.

For further information, see our contact details below. You may also wish to refer to the school’s Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Policy and SEND Information Report linked above.

Accessing Support Through the Local Offer

In our pledge to support parents/carers, we have clearly presented information about our SEND offer. This can be found as part of Durham County Council’s Local Offer found at the Families Information Services website.
