Dorset Studio School aims to be a fully inclusive school.  The pages below give details of how the school supports specific groups of pupils with additional needs, aiming to ensure that all pupils are able to achieve their full potential.  Where relevant, these pages contain a detailed breakdown of how additional funding is used by the school.

The SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disability) department is led by Mr Jason Malone (Deputy Vice Principal) and Miss Natasha Sibley (SENDCo/Inclusion Co-ordinator).

If you wish to speak to the team with regard to any SEND questions or concerns, please contact Miss Sibley via the school office on 01305 443600 or info@dorsetstudioschool.co.uk.
