At Whipton Barton Federation, we believe all children deserve the very best possible start and we aim to enrich the lives of all our pupils.

All children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are welcome at Whipton Barton Federation. Full support will be provided to each child who has SEND requirements with well thought out strategies to overcome any barriers to learning. Whipton Barton Federation is a fully inclusive school providing a high quality and caring education so that all pupils can achieve their potential.

Parents/Carers are fully involved and the progress of children with SEND is monitored towards meeting specifically identified goals and targets.

The Federation uses specialist strategies, which include a strong commitment towards training and developing all teachers and Teaching Assistants in their understanding of SEN to ensure that everyone is a ‘teacher of SEN’.

Excellent care, guidance and support contributes significantly to pupils’ personal development to make them all feel safe and secure and make the best possible academic and personal progress. Additional information about services in Devon and the Devon SEND local offer can be found by clicking here.
