Home Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Welcome to our SEND Information Report which is part of Durham County Council’s Local Offer for children and young people with Special Educational Needs. All governing bodies of maintained schools have a legal duty to publish information on their website about the implementation of the SEND Policy.

At Bowes Hutchinson’s C of E V A Primary School we are committed to the equal inclusion of all pupils in all areas of primary school life. We recognise the diverse and individual needs of all of our pupils and take into account the additional support required by those children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
