Sometimes children need additional support for some or all of their time at school. ‘Special Educational Needs and Disability’ (SEND) describes any learning difficulty which means a child needs extra ‘educational provision’. Children might have a learning difficulty if they:
- have significantly greater difficulty learning than the majority of children their age
- have a disability which hinders them using general school facilities in their area
- require special provisions to help them with learning or to help them attend school
We aim to provide a caring and supportive environment where every child matters. All pupils are valued equally and are given the opportunity to achieve the very best they can. The Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo) ensures children receive the provision they need. Our school is supported by Trust Primary SENDCo, Rachel Mackay. If you have any concerns about your child please talk to the class teacher in the first instance or take a look through our parent’s guide to SEND.
"Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are quickly identified and exceptionally well supported. This identification begins in the early years. Pupils, including pupils with SEND, achieve very well because their needs are well understood and skilfully met by staff." Ofsted - December 2024
