SEND & Safeguarding

Send
- Meet the individual needs of students
- Overcome barriers to learning
- Raise student self-esteem
- Build student confidence
- Develop student independence
- Provide students with access to a broad and balanced education
At UTC Heathrow we aim to provide holistic SEN support, using staff to provide support in classes, without hindering the individuality and independence of the students.

We are flexible in our support of students and look to develop them, academically, emotionally and socially. We are quick to identify the needs of students and make excellent use of external stakeholders to identify needs and implement support.
The SEND team currently comprises Aaron Sohi (SENCO) and Beverley Pearce (Senior Coordinator), though we are currently in the process of expanding the team through recruitment in order to expand our range of interventions and classroom support.
