SEND

At Silverstone UTC, we are committed to ensuring that every learner—including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)—has the opportunity, support, and encouragement to thrive. Our vision for SEND provision reflects the UTC’s wider ambition “to deliver an ambitious curriculum, creating an educational experience that is rich in opportunity and creates productive, caring and inclusive members of society.”  

​

Our Vision 

At Silverstone UTC, we believe that learners with SEND should experience an education that is aspirational, inclusive, and empowering, enabling them to develop both academically and personally within a supportive and innovative technical environment. We strive to ensure that every SEND learner: 

• Accesses a high‑quality, ambitious curriculum that nurtures their talents, interests, and aspirations. 

• Develops the confidence, independence and resilience needed to thrive both now and in the future. 

• Is valued as an individual, with personalised support that builds on strengths and removes barriers to success. 

• Feels safe, included and respected within a community built on kindness, integrity and fairness. 

• Is fully prepared for high‑performing future destinations, including employment, apprenticeships, technical pathways, and higher education. 

Our SEND vision ensures that every learner is able to benefit from our mission “to educate, nurture and inspire young people to become high‑performing, work‑ready individuals capable of maximising their potential.”

The college’s SEND Policy and SEND Information Report set out how learners with SEND are supported at Silverstone UTC. These can be found on the Policies webpage.
