SEND & Disability

Tor Bridge High wants to transform lives, strengthen communities and make the world a better place.

At Tor Bridge High we have three values that we want to develop in all students at Tor Bridge High so

that every child succeeds. Tor Bridge High values are:

​

• Courage

• Love

• Ambition

We encourage all students through our rewards, assemblies, and curriculum to always exhibit these values. This is even more important for disabled/SEND students to love themselves through by working to develop high self-esteem, love others to be a role model. We hope that they develop the courage to face personal challenges in a positive way and challenge any discrimination that they may experience in their lives. Finally, we want them to be ambitious to achieve at the highest level because they show personal agency (being able to speak up for themselves), to secure any adjustments that will help them to cope leading a life as a disabled adult.

Adaptive Provision at Tor Bridge High

​

There are two areas within the school that provide support that is additional to or different the

mainstream school:

​

• Academic Hub – supporting cognition & learning, physical and sensory disabilities and communication & interaction, social, emotional, mental health(SEMH) needs and speech and language needs including Plymouth Local Authority Speech & Language Provision.

• Pastoral Hub – supporting behaviour management and some social, emotional and mental health needs.

​

We are committed to the social model of disability that sees the environment as disabling and we work hard to provide professional learning and development that equips all teachers and teaching assistants to ensure that the learning environment is accessible for all.
