Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at High Tunstall is structured through our local offer. The local offer provides information on what services children, young people and their families can expect from High Tunstall College of Science. Knowing what is available in each Hartlepool school and in the authority as a whole gives you more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for your child. We hope that the information contained with our information report allows you to make the right decision about a placement for your child.
‘Knowing every child’ is key to our community at High Tunstall and is fundamental to understanding special education needs. For students who require additional support there will be a detailed student overview document which provides staff with a single point of reference for staff in school to understand your child and their needs. For those with further support needs an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) may be applied for which then can allow access to additional funding to help support and meet the needs of individual students. For more detail see the Department for Educations: SEN Guide for Parents
