At Dean Field, supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is a high priority. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school where every child is valued and supported to reach their full potential. We are committed to meeting each child\u2019s individual needs through high-quality teaching, targeted support, and strong partnerships with families and professionals.<\/p>\n
We have lots in place to provide support across the four broad areas of need as identified in the SEND Code of Practice:<\/p>\n
Our aim is to ensure that all pupils feel safe, supported and confident in their learning. The following links and documents should be useful in providing more information on how we do this.<\/p>\n

Every morning we run Sensory Circuits in the school hall<\/strong> to support many pupils with sensory processing needs. This structured, movement-based activity has a huge positive impact<\/strong> on pupils\u2019 ability to feel regulated, calm, and ready to learn. By taking part before lessons begin, children are better able to focus, engage in learning, and manage their emotions throughout the school day.<\/p>\n A sensory circuit is a short sequence of physical activities that follows a clear structure and is made up of three key sections<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n By following this predictable structure each morning, sensory circuits support children to start the day feeling settled, focused, and ready to access learning successfully.<\/p>\n Autism Accreditation<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n In June 2025 we were thrilled to receive our\u00a0Autism\u00a0Inclusion Award, an accreditation which recognises and celebrates what we have in place for our autistic pupils. The process included providing lots of evidence, case studies etc which was assessed by the National Autistic Society. As well as receiving the award and the positive feedback, which you can see some of the key strengths below, it gave us some areas to improve further which we will be working on this year.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n SEND Information and Top Tips for Parents <\/strong><\/p>\n Attention and Listening<\/a> Summer 1<\/a> Spring 2<\/strong><\/a> Spring 1<\/strong><\/a> SEND Newsletter (Autumn 2)<\/strong><\/a> SEND Newsletter (Autumn 1)<\/strong><\/a> At Dean Field, supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is a high priority.

\nThese activities help to wake up the body and brain<\/em>. They include lively movements such as jumping, running, or crawling. The purpose is to increase alertness and energy levels so pupils feel ready and engaged.<\/li>\n
\nThese activities help children organise their bodies and thoughts<\/em>. They often involve balancing, coordination, or following movement patterns. This section supports concentration, motor skills, and listening, helping pupils feel more in control of their bodies.<\/li>\n
\nThe final section helps pupils to slow down and feel calm<\/em>. Gentle, controlled movements such as stretching, pushing, or deep pressure activities help the body relax and prepare for learning in the classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/deanfieldschool.co.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SC-01.png\")
