Accessibility, Inclusion and SEND
Accessibility
We work hard to ensure all members of our community, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, can access and make the most out of our school.
Where appropriate, we will make physical changes to the school to accommodate children and staff with disabilities and where this is not practical, we will change how we operate to ensure that no one is disadvantaged.
Our Accessibility Plan contains further details.
For parents concerned about their child's access to their learning, we ask that they:
- Detail to us, at the earliest opportunity, the nature of any disability their child may have;
- Provide any information the school needs to plan effectively for the child to be a full member of the school community;
- Appreciate that when deciding whether an adjustment is reasonable, the school must also consider the effect of the change(s) on all other members of the school community.
Inclusion - Incorporating Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
Special Educational provision means educational provision which is additional to, or otherwise different from, the education provision made generally for children of their age.
The school supports the fundamental principles, practices and procedures of the SEN Code of Practice. We are committed to providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that is appropriate to the individual pupil. A pupil with special needs may be any child who is experiencing difficulties with learning, or with an emotional, behavioural or physical problem. These difficulties may be of a long or short-term nature and may require extra provision within the school to facilitate the child’s access to a broadly based curriculum. If intervention is identified as being required a Learning Plan will be written to address the area(s) of need. This will be shared with the parents and the child and reviewed on a regular basis.
At Maidwell Primary School we aim to provide an inclusive curriculum and ensure that the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every pupil with special educational needs matter.
Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENCO) is:
Mrs Emma Smyth.
