Support SEND

An overview of our schools SEND provision

Edgar Sewter Primary School values the individual needs and achievements of all of our pupils and is committed to providing each and every one with the best possible opportunities for learning.

We know that all of us have strengths and all of us find some things difficult. We celebrate these differences and know that some things we can’t do ‘yet!’. We aim to create a learning environment which is flexible enough to meet the needs of all members of our school community, working with children, parents and other agencies to provide the best possible support in order that all learners achieve their potential. 

Every teacher is a teacher of every child including those with SEN. All children are entitled to quality first teaching and, where necessary, intervention programmes and adjustments to ensure good quality personalised learning. Teachers are responsible and accountable for the progress and development of the pupils in their class. 

Our school SENCOs, Mrs Summers and Mrs Dalley, have overall responsibility for leading our provision for our children who have SEN. They work closely with all teachers and staff in school and are a point of contact for parents, providing support, advice and guidance to all. Training and support is provided to teachers to improve understanding of strategies to identify needs and understand how to help pupils. We work together, learning from each other and from outside agencies to help children get the very best out of their time here, and feel safe and happy whilst they are doing so.

Please have a look at our SEN Information Report, our school policies and the rest of this page as this will provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of what SEN support looks like in our setting.
