Our Special Educational Needs (SEN) report is part of the Derbyshire Local Offer for secondary schools and has been produced with students, parents/carers, governors, and staff.
We are committed to working together with all members of our school community. If you have feedback or questions about SEN provisions at DHFS, please contact any of the people below:
Our School’s Learning Culture
“Success with Care”
We want to inspire students to have a ‘thirst for knowledge’ and develop into successful independent learners. All students have the capacity to develop the attributes of successful Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School learners: responsibility, resilience and reflection (3Rs). Our lessons don’t only focus on what students are learning (the subject content) but also how and why they are learning (skills and benefit). The 3Rs help to provide both students and teachers with a vocabulary to describe the process of learning. The 3Rs must therefore be taught, modelled, celebrated, developed and made explicit in all that we do. The 3Rs of successful learners are that all students are responsible, resilient, and reflective.
At DHFS, we are proud of our inclusive Personal Development curriculum, including the SRE Sex & Relationships Education curriculum.
