Inclusion

National Award winning outreach and inclusion

As a forward thinking special school, we are keen to promote inclusive opportunities for all pupils within the South Somerset Area with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

By working in close partnership with local mainstream schools, we aim to increase their confidence, skills and knowledge of strategies and resources to enable them to effectively support and fully include pupils with SEND within their own settings. We offer group inclusion activities as well as individual inclusion placements and promote social interaction opportunities for our pupils.

Our inclusion programme also has a long and proud history of enabling pupils with SEND to access provision in both mainstream and special schools as well as participating in activities within the local community.

Fiveways School, shortlisted with three other schools from across the UK, were immensely proud to be judged as winners of the ‘Excellent Practice in Special School’ category.  This prestigious accolade is for schools ‘making a real difference to, and improving outcomes for, children and young people with SEND’ and was awarded to Fiveways School in recognition of their outstanding outreach work and inclusion programme.
