Introduction
At Stanway Fiveways Primary School we aim to offer excellence and choice to all our children, regardless of ability or needs. We want all children to feel valued and part of the school community. We have high expectation of all our teachers and children and we work hard to remove barriers to learning and participation.
Almost all children will experience some difficulty at some point during their time at school. The difficulties may be learning, behavioural, emotional/social, speech and language, medical or physical. A child is considered to have Special Educational Needs where their learning or disability calls for special educational provision, that is provision different from or additional to that normally available to pupils of the same age. All children need different levels of support at different times and as a whole school we work together to identify the individual needs of each pupil and decide on the best course of action at any given time.
We want Parents and carers to work in partnership with us in the process of educating and developing the whole child. We believe this will have the greatest impact on a child’s education.
Our School Information Report explains how we can support you and your child whilst they attend our school.
Our Special Educational Needs Policy gives detailed information regarding the provision and structure of SEN within our school.
