Welcome to Hounsdown's Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) pages. We hope you will enjoy reading about the variety of ways in which Hounsdown School is able to support SEND students to reach their full potential.

• Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) for KS4 (Y9, Y10 & Y11) is Mr Clark.
• Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) for KS3 (Y7 & Y8) is Miss Drain.
• Our Governor with responsibility for SEND is Mrs Campbell.
• Hounsdown School is a mainstream school.
  

At Hounsdown School we welcome everybody into our community. The school’s motto is “Be the best that you can be” which drives our curriculum design and approach to learning.

Every student has the opportunity to follow National Curriculum subjects as well as following an appropriate GCSE curriculum pathway. Our options programme allows for personalisation, with additional time in the core subjects should it be needed.

We are committed to narrowing the attainment gap between SEND and non-SEND students. This may include after school interventions, short-term intervention learning or other learning interventions developed on an individual needs basis.
