At Stretford High School, we are committed to supporting every child’s needs. When a student has Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), we follow a graduated approach in line with our 2024 SEND Policy and the national SEND Code of Practice. This means we provide support step-by-step, increasing help as needed so that no child is left behind.

We start with high-quality teaching in the classroom for all, and if a child needs more help, we add extra support in stages. Our approach has three main stages 3 early concerns, SEN Support in school, and if necessary, an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) 3 which we explain in this guide:
