SEND

Intent

At Harehills Primary School every child has the right to access a broad, balanced curriculum which allows them to achieve the best possible outcomes, become confident individuals, live fulfilling lives and make successful transitions.
Through our inclusive curriculum all our children learn, laugh and love together in a supportive environment and for children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities we make sure they have what they need to be successful
