We aim to provide every possible opportunity for every child to develop their full potential. Children with Special Educational Needs must be valued as individuals and should be encouraged to integrate with their peers, both socially and academically. They should have access to the school curriculum. At all times, consideration will be given to maintaining and enhancing the self-esteem of children with Special Educational Needs.

Teachers are encouraged to respond to pupil’s diverse learning needs. Teachers take account of SEN requirements and make provision, where necessary and where possible, to support individuals or groups of children and thus enable them  to  participate  effectively  in  curriculum and

assessment activities. Such children may need additional or different help from that given to other children of the same age.

We support children in a manner that acknowledges their entitlement to share the same learning experiences that their peers enjoy. Wherever possible, we do not withdraw children from the classroom situation. There are times, though, when to maximise learning, we ask the children to work in small groups, or in a one-to-one situation outside the classroom.
