DBSJ recognises that each child’s school journey is different and responds to the needs of its students both individually and collectively. This extends to all of the students, with a systematic approach to ensure that DBSJ students who experience Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (Students of Determination) receive support in fitting with their needs. - Quality First Teaching, which benefits all students by delivering high-quality, differentiated instruction. This approach is supported by ongoing and timely assessments to inform any additional provision needed. - Targeted and Small Group Support for students who have gaps in learning or need extended support to reach age-related milestones. - Specialist Support outside of the school’s core provision, provided either by DBSJ's dedicated inclusion team or external experts with the specialized knowledge to accelerate progress.
