SEND Intent Statement
At Kinver High School, the SEND department upholds high expectations for all and aligns with our trust mission: “Excellence every day, unlimited ambition, and transforming lives.” We are committed to delivering everyday excellence for every learner within our school community.
Learners identified with additional needs are nurtured and supported to develop academically, socially, emotionally, and morally, ensuring they achieve the best possible outcomes for their future. We strive to create an inclusive school environment where our core values—respect, resilience, and relationships—are embedded in our practice, fostering a strong sense of belonging and enabling all students to succeed.
We provide every student with access to an ambitious, broad, and balanced curriculum, empowering all learners to pursue unlimited ambitions. Our focus is on creating a truly inclusive setting, where provision is tailored to meet individual needs and abilities, thereby transforming lives.
