SEND Offer at The Young Women's Hub

Welcome to The Young Women's Hub, where we are dedicated to providing an inclusive, supportive environment for all students, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Understanding the importance of tailored education, we strive to meet the unique needs of each child through our comprehensive SEND programme. Our aim is to ensure that all students, particularly those at the Secondary level, have access to the resources and support they need to thrive academically and socially.

At The Young Women's Hub, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their individual challenges. This is why our team works closely with parents, teachers, and specialists to support and help to develop personalised Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) for students requiring additional support. These plans are crafted to promote mental health wellbeing and academic achievement, ensuring that each child's specific needs are addressed in a holistic manner.

Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond the classroom. The Young Women's Hub offers a variety of programmes and services designed to support the mental health and emotional well-being of our students. From counselling and therapy sessions to social skills workshops and peer support groups, we provide a nurturing environment where all children can feel safe, valued, and understood. We invite parents/carers to join us in this endeavour, as we work together to build a brighter future for our students.
