Curriculum - Special Needs

We recognise that all children have individual educational needs and try to ensure that our curriculum activities are differentiated to allow children to progress at their own level. Our special needs provision is therefore directed towards supporting children in the mainstream classroom and is based on practice which gives children opportunities for success, and builds up their self-esteem.

We monitor children's progress through the use of an Individual Education Plan (I.E.P.) to make sure that learning targets are set and that appropriate support is provided. We always welcome parents to discuss special needs with us and find that our work is most effective when there is a good home/school partnership.

Our SEN Co-ordinator and learning support staff work closely with class teachers to support individuals and groups of children who have been identified as having special educational needs. Our work is carried out in accordance with the Special Needs Code of Practice.
