Case study: Meeting complex SEN

Disability
We continue our focus on the work of Nasen’s Outstanding Schools. This time, we visit special school Camberwell Park to find out about its collaborative approach, working with parents and external services to meet their pupils’ complex needs

Camberwell Park, a specialist support school based in north Manchester, was judged as "outstanding" by Ofsted in May 2010 and again in June 2013.

As part of the Nasen Outstanding Schools Project, Camberwell Park has also been highlighted as a school that provides unparalleled support for pupils with SEN.

Camberwell Park caters for 85 children with SEN who are aged between two and 11. Their "outstanding" status serves as a reflection of the school's mission statement: "All children are given the right to an outstanding education."

One of the most notable attitudes shared by the staff at Camberwell Park is their belief that they are all partners in pupils' education. The aim is for teachers and teaching assistants to work collaboratively and flexibly with parents, carers and multi-agency workers to ensure pupils' needs are considered and met.
