| Planning: the way in which the curriculum is organised to guarantee full access for all pupils (e.g. class groupings room allocations, timings, etc.,). | Ongoing meeting of needs in all bases in preparation for, and throughout, each academic year. | |
| Written Information | Curriculum and other materials: how we guarantee that all students who are expected to gain information from written material receive it in a format that they can access. | Learning materials are prepared in appropriate formats. |
