Haslingden High School and Sixth Form

Leaders identify individual SEND needs, arrange appropriate support and equip staff to design suitable learning within the same ambitious curriculum as peers.

“Leaders and teachers identify the individual needs of pupils and students with SEND accurately. Leaders ensure that these pupils receive appropriate support. They provide staff with the information that they need to design learning which meets the needs of these pupils. This enables pupils and students with SEND to progress through the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.”

Miss J Holt is the Designated Safeguarding Lead, supported by two named deputy DSLs.
