Northampton School for Boys believes that every student is entitled to the same opportunities to learn and make progress without exception. As a positive, supportive and inclusive school, it is our intention to remove barriers to learning and promote full participation with the school's broad and balanced curriculum and extensive extra curricular programme. 

The Inclusion Team at Northampton School for Boys provides additional support for students with SEND following the Graduated Approach. The West Northants SEND Ranges is embedded into our practice. Please see below for further information. 

Students with special educational needs and/or disabilities without an EHCP are admitted via the usual Local Authority application processes. Those students with an EHCP must follow the EHCP application process through their Local Authority's EHCP team. We ask that in ALL cases parents/carers do discuss their potential application to Northampton School for Boys with our Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-ordinators (SENDCo), contact details can be found below. As parents/carers, it is vitally important that you feel sure that the school provides the right fit and environment for your child.

Definition of Special Educational Need

A child or young person has Special Education Needs if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her. A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if they:

• have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or
• have a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools.
