  • To enable each pupil to partake in and contribute fully to school life
  • To endeavour to meet the individual needs of each child
  • To develop a feeling of self-esteem within the individual
  • To foster an atmosphere in our school, that will promote a happy, sensitive and secure environment, to ensure the most effective learning for all children
  • To providing for children’s individual needs by supporting them in various ways: whole class, small group and individual
  • To monitor closely those with SEND by review and assessment, to enable us to recognise, celebrate and record achievements
  • To work with parents and other agencies to provide support and opportunities for those children with SEND
  • To use a variety of teaching strategies, which include different learning styles, to facilitate meaningful and effective learning for all children
