We at Castle Hall School believe in the entitlement of all children to a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated education within an equal opportunities framework. Approximately 18% of students at Castle Hall are likely to have Special Educational Needs of differing kinds. We believe that school should be a place where students are encouraged to achieve the highest possible standards and to use their minds well. We also believe that students must develop skills that will enable them to enjoy physical and emotional well being. We hold it to be true that success comes from commitment on the part of students, parents and staff. We are working towards a framework where the term Individual Educational Needs (IEN) is used instead of Special Educational Needs (SEN) apart from where statutory procedures require the use of this term.

Castle Hall School aims to provide opportunities for all its pupils, including those with Special Education Needs to:
- Follow a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum for all pupils
- Be involved in recognising their individual needs and ensure that these are met appropriately
- Fully participate in all school activities
- Experience equal opportunities in achieving potential
