Special Needs and Inclusion
The school recognises that each child has a variety of differing needs as they progress through the school. Most of these can be dealt with by the class teacher, however where a teacher or parent becomes concerned, it may be necessary to initiate a special programme of support and work for that child. This is only implemented after consultation with the special educational needs coordinator (SENCO). The stages of help are easily explained and are monitored regularly. We wish to build a partnership between parent, teacher and child that benefits the child’s educational progress and attainment.
Work in all aspects of the curriculum can be differentiated to suit the needs and ability of the children. Differentiation can take many forms and arrangements are made to cater for those children with specific learning difficulties or those who are more able and require challenges to increase their academic, creative, artistic, sporting and social skills. Targets are set to encourage them to extend themselves.
Any parents who are concerned about their child’s progress should make an appointment to speak to the class teacher and the SENCO. As well as the SENCO there is a governor with a designated responsibility for special educational needs. Please see our website for more information.
