"The school has high expectations about what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will learn. Pupils’ excellent behaviour ensures that they can learn in a safe and undisrupted environment. They generally achieve well across a range of subjects".

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)

All our children are valued and individual differences are respected and enjoyed. Children progress at different rates and our curriculum reflects this, allowing children opportunities to stretch themselves and develop their strengths and achieve their full potential.

At our school we strive to ensure that the needs of all the children are met. Through observation, monitoring, assessment and liaison with colleagues and parents/carers, early identification of a child with special educational needs can be achieved.

The class teacher will provide an appropriate programme of work for the child who needs support. At a later stage it may become necessary to involve the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo), who with the class teacher, would draw up an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for the child. In some circumstances other agencies may need to be involved. Parents/Carers are informed at all stages of the process.

We have a disabled access at the rear of the school and a disabled toilet. Parents of children who have disabilities should contact the school directly to discuss individual requirements.
