Children and young people who have special educational needs (SEN) do not necessarily have a disability. Some disabled children and young people do not have special educational needs. There is a lot of overlap between the two groups though.

What are special educational needs?

A child or young person has SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability, which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her A child or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age. Or they have a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools/post-16 institutions.

Examples of special educational needs include:

Speech, language and communication needs

Behavioural, emotional and social difficulties

Autistic spectrum conditions

Moderate learning difficulties

Profound and multiple learning difficulties

Multi-sensory impairment

If you think your child has special educational needs find out about the SEN Support and how this can help them to learn and progress.

What do we mean by disability?

A child or young person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial or long-term effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Research suggests that about six to seven percent of children are disabled. Children and young people with the most complex needs will require specialist services. They will require support with their health, education or physical, intellectual, emotional, social or behavioural development, due to disabilities.

Disabilities include:

Multiple and complex health needs or chronic illness

Sensory impairment such as hearing loss, visual impairment or deaf-blindness

A significant and long term learning difficulty

A physical disability

Autistic spectrum disorder

A severe communication disorder

A significant preschool developmental delay

There is support available for children and young people who have disabilities which do not affect their ability to learn.

Is having English as a second language a special educational need?

No. Children do not have SEN just because the language used at home is different from the language used at school. The English Language Support Service works with local schools to support pupils who are new to English and those who are more advanced bilingual learners. They also work with refugees and asylum seekers. Please note, parents cannot access this service directly and it is not available in all schools. Ask your child’s school for more information.

What are the 3 C's in spirituality?

One way to summarize that is: Communion, Compassion, and Connection – 'the 3 C's. ' Another way to say it is simply this: Love, Love, Love!

Love, Love, Love

According to the Bible Jesus gave us 3 commandments. A commandment is not a suggestion – it’s an imperative. What are the “thou shalts” for followers of the Way of Jesus?

Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. (Mark 12:29-30)

God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. (Mark 12:29-30) Love your neighbour as you love yourself. (Mark 12:31) your neighbour as you love yourself. (Mark 12:31) Love one another as Jesus loved his disciples. (John 13:34-35) And to simplify that even more we summarize it in three powerful words – Communion, Compassion, and Connection. At whatever age or stage we’re at whether we’re beginners or seasoned veterans those three commandments must be at the very centre of our faith life. The culture that we aspire to create in this community of Faith is a culture of living out these commandments. It’s really not all that complicated – but it’s also not all that easy. One way to summarize that is: Communion, Compassion, and Connection – ‘the 3 C’s.’

Another way to say it is simply this: Love, Love, Love!

These 3 words are the foundation of our journey. Our constant questions as followers of the Way of Jesus are:

In what ways can I deepen my communion – my spirituality?

In what ways can I broaden my compassion – my outreach?

In what ways can I strengthen my connection with my fellow journeyers – my fellowship?

In these three questions are all the vision and mission any church can handle!
