Inclusion is meeting the needs of all children, including those with specific difficulties and those for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL).
We aim to ensure all pupils are offered full access to a broad, balanced, rich and relevant curriculum, and all have the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
We provide induction, training, development and support to help our staff provide a quality first education for all children. We adapt tasks to ensure challenge and progression for all. We use cooperative learning structures in all classes, which encourage peer support between children with differing abilities.
Where our quality first education is not enough, we do whatever it takes to ensure every child receives the provision they require - for example providing interventions for individuals or small groups. We provide this as well as - not instead of - high quality, whole class teaching.
We aim to ensure a partnership between parents, children and staff, working together to agree the best way to meet children’s needs. We seek external advice where required, through a range of local services and through our excellent network of other schools.
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
Providing for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) is a key part of a successful inclusive school. There is a shared expectation that all pupils regardless of their specific needs should be offered inclusive quality teaching which will enable them to make the best possible progress and feel that they are a valued member of the wider school community.
The school may offer a range of provision to support children with communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social, mental and health, or sensory and physical needs. Details of support available and processes relating to this can be found in our SEND Information Report and Accessibility Plan.
Our Special Educational Needs & Disabilities policy is designed to promote pupils working towards becoming independent and resilient learners and should not be seen in isolation.
If you wish to talk to us about your child’s needs or provisions please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance and the one of our Inclusion Team – Liz Williams or Sally White.
