Inclusion (SEND)

Our vision of Love, Learn, Shine strongly influences our approach and commitment to all children including children with additional needs. All children are nurtured as individuals taking into account any additional needs or learning differences. As articulated within our vision, we deeply value every child as an individual recognising that achievement comes in many forms.

Learning with, from and alongside children with range of learning differences helps all children become sensitive and supportive of diversity, preparing them well for life in modern Britain.

Support for children with special educational needs and disabilities is systematically planned and sensitively delivered by our dedicated team of teachers and support staff. This provision is monitored and evaluated by Mrs Jones our dedicated SENDCO, Paul Griffiths our Headteacher and Linda McPhee our SEND governor.

‘Leaders, including the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo), are resolute in their commitment to inclusion. There is a shared understanding among all staff that the progress of pupils, including those with SEND, is everyone’s responsibility. Leaders ensure that information is shared with teachers in a timely manner so that teaching can be adapted to meet the needs of individual pupils. Consequently, pupils with SEND are making good progress towards their individual targets.’

Provision for children with SEND

At St Peter’s School we work hard to enable all children to Love, Learn and Shine. We aim to plan for continuity and progression at our school and upon transfer to secondary education. We recognise the entitlement of all children to a rich, relevant and coherently planned curriculum. Our SEND policy reinforces the need for teaching that is fully inclusive. The Governing Body will ensure that appropriate provision will be made for all pupils with SEND.

Our SENDCO is Mrs Alice Jones has been a qualified teacher for almost 20 years and holds the National Award for SEND Coordination.
