SEND AT tHE rEGIS sCHOOL
At The Regis School, we are committed to ensuring that every student experiences success, belonging and opportunity. We believe that every young person deserves to feel known, valued and supported within our school community.
We recognise that every student is unique. Our aim is to identify barriers to learning at the earliest opportunity, understand each student's individual strengths and needs, and provide the support necessary for them to thrive both academically and personally.
Our provision is based on a graduated approach, as outlined in the SEND Code of Practice. Through our Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR) process, concerns are identified, support is carefully planned, progress is monitored and provision is adapted as students' needs change.
High-quality adaptive teaching is at the heart of our approach. Where additional support is needed, we work closely with students, families and staff to put the right support in place, enabling every young person to achieve their potential and participate fully in school life.
We value the contribution of parents and carers and believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential. Students and families are actively involved in reviewing support and helping to shape the provision they receive.
We are committed to helping all students become confident, independent young people who feel a strong sense of belonging and are well prepared for adulthood.
Further information about our approach to SEND can be found in our SEND Information Report and SEND Policy. Information about services and support available across West Sussex can also be accessed through the West Sussex Local Offer.
We welcome applications from all pupils, including those with additional needs, in accordance with our Admissions Policy, which can be found on the Policies page of our website.

The Regis School also includes the Specialist Support Centre (SSC) which is a resourced provision for students with high needs Education Health Care Plans.
There are 10 places within the SSC across Years 7–11. Placements are allocated by West Sussex County Council in consultation with the school. Students in the SSC receive bespoke support tailored to their individual needs and outcomes, often informed by specialist professionals such as Speech and Language Therapists.
The SSC provides a structured, nurturing environment for students with a range of needs, including specific learning difficulties, communication and interaction needs, and ADHD. Students follow a personalised timetable, typically accessing a blend of SSC-based support alongside mainstream lessons, with additional support as required. Provision is regularly reviewed in partnership with parents, carers and professionals through the annual review process.
More information about placement to the SSC can be found here: Admission to Special Support Centres - West Sussex County Council
