Special Education Needs and Disabilities

We are committed to meeting the educational needs of all our pupils. At times, some of our children will need additional support. We will facilitate this by following these objectives:

• Involve parents/carers as partners
• Provide, provision for meeting pupils’ special educational needs, the setting and marking of work appropriate to the individual need of the child, and where necessary through the development of individual or group learning programmes
• Foster and maintain links with all outside agencies, educational support services, secondary and special schools
• Initiate and facilitate staff development programmes concerned with special educational needs
• Ensure that our school provides for equal access in line with the Disability Discrimination Act

The school’s Special Educational Needs Co- ordinator is Ms C Jeffery. Our ‘Local Offer’ for pupils with special education and health needs, gives greater detail of our provision and is published on our school website or available in hard copy from the School Office.

Welcome to The King's C of E Primary Academy where our aim is for 'Growing confident and aspirational children who believe in themselves and contribute positively to their community and the wider world'. 

Ms C Jeffery - Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator
 
As SENCO I support the staff to meet our children's needs by coordinating specific groups and their provision to ensure all our children achieve their potential. We are a fully inclusive academy whose sees each child as an individual. 

At The King's we work in partnership with you to help your child and we know that all children at some time struggle with their work or find school difficult. So if you have any worries about your child’s specific needs please talk to your child’s class teacher in the first instance.

If you have a problem or worry that cannot be resolved by your child’s class teacher you are welcome to come and speak to me. I will be happy to meet with you and can often help you to find the right service in the community to help with particular issues.
