SEND

At George Tomlinson School we believe that all children have an equal right to a full and rounded education which enable them to reach their potential and beyond. We aim to meet individual needs and provide opportunities for children to make good progress. Children should enjoy reaching their goals and have this achievement celebrated.

Our school vision statement underpins everything we do:

Excellence through enjoyment
Diverse-We acknowledge, promote and celebrate our community’s diversity; it is at the
core of who we are as a school.
Happy-We care for our health, enjoy learning and celebrate our achievements in a
welcoming and positive environment.
Inspiring-We inspire our learners through an engaging and challenging creative
curriculum.
Ambitious-We don’t allow anything to get in the way of our success. We dream big.
Creative-We use our imagination and express ourselves with confidence.
