Such pupils will have the greatest possible access to a broad and balanced education including the National Curriculum. The class teacher is responsible for providing most of the special needs teaching but when it is deemed more beneficial children may be withdrawn for help on an individual or group basis. When necessary, expert help from external sources may be called upon.
