Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

 

 

 

 

At Longfields Primary and Nursery school School, we are committed to providing an inclusive education that meets the needs of all our pupils. We believe in quality first teaching with differentiation for all children, whatever their ability, to ensure every child can reach their full potential.

We involve external experts whenever necessary to improve our offer and ensure that children’s needs are identified and met as quickly as possible. We similarly ensure that staff have the relevant training and support to ensure that best practice is used with regard to SEND. Teachers and Support staff have frequent and open communication ensuring that the school community works together to implement plans and provide for children with SEND.

We believe for a child to achieve their full potential, we must develop their self-esteem and resilience, as this will help build confidence and motivation.

At every step of this process, we aim to involve parents and families and build trusting and open relationships. It is important that we work as a team with parents and carers to ensure the best outcomes for all children.
