SEND
BackSpecial Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) Provision at White Cliffs Primary and Nursery School
At White Cliffs Primary and Nursery School, we are committed to providing an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all of our pupils, whatever their needs and abilities. The School seeks to raise the achievement, remove barriers to learning and increase physical and curricular access for all, through the development of an environment where all children can flourish. All children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) are valued, respected and are equal members of the School.
As such, provision for pupils with SEND is the responsibility for the School as a whole - “All teachers are teachers of pupils with SEN” – and everything begins with high quality first teaching. We are committed to inclusion and to ensuring that lessons are planned and adapted to meet the needs of all of our pupils.
Our expectation is that children and young people with SEND will receive an education that enables them to make progress so that they:
• achieve their best
• become confident individuals living fulfilling lives
• make a successful transition into adulthood, whether into employment, further or higher education or training
We will use our best endeavours to make sure that a pupil with SEN and/or D gets the support they need. This means doing everything we can to meet the pupil’s special educational needs. We will strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and develop an environment where children can flourish.
Mrs Sammie Burgess is the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) and has undertaken additional training and qualifications to enable her to offer specialist support and advice.
If you have any concerns regarding your child's needs or would like the opportunity to discuss any aspect of their provision at school, please contact the school office on 01304 206174, and they will be happy to arrange an appointment for you to meet with Mrs Burgess.
