At Loseley Fields we ensure that equal opportunities are provided for all learners regardless of their special educational needs.
As a school, we provide a broad and balanced curriculum that goes beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum, with many opportunities to engage with learning in a multi-sensory way. Children are encouraged to participate in the wider life of the school and within the local community through the Citizenship pathway.
Teachers know their children well and set suitable learning challenges that meet the needs of all children. At Loseley Fields, we do our best to ensure that the necessary provision is made for any pupil who has special educational needs and that those needs are known to all who are likely to work with them.
Our aims are to:
Create an environment that meets the needs of all learners and allows them to reach their full potential;
Entitle children to a broad and balanced curriculum differentiated to meet their individual needs;
Ensure that pupils with SEND are identified, assessed and provided for with additional resources as early as possible - please see the SEND Policy below.
Involve parents and keep them fully informed of all SEND issues;
Work in cooperation and productive partnerships with the Local Authority and other outside agencies, to ensure there is a multi-agency approach to meeting the needs of all vulnerable learner;
Ensure a high level of staff expertise to meet children's needs, through targeted professional development;

Leo Class (Specialist Centre for Learning and Additional Needs - LAN)
Leo Class is a Specialist Centre for children who may need specialist teaching for learning and communication, but would benefit from accessing mainstream provision. We currently have 12 places for children in KS2. All children in Leo Class have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). Admission to Leo Class is via the local authority and details can be found on the Surrey Local Offer website.

The school is currently on one ground level with the exception of the building at the rear of the school which has two levels. This building has no lift.
