Our Commitment to Inclusion at St Andrew’s Primary School:

At St Andrew’s, we strive for the ROOTS of our school community to nurture, support and challenge every child to GROW to be the best versions of themselves. We aim for all pupils to have the faith, strength and resilience to SOAR freely and flourish, now and in the future.

We believe it is essential to provide a well-balanced, challenging curriculum for all children. We are committed to ensuring that all children, including those with Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND), receive their right to a high-quality, accessible and balanced curriculum. We endeavour to remove and overcome all barriers to ensure children are fully included in all aspects of school life, where and when they are able.

We regularly monitor and track the progress of all pupils to inform our practice and ensure support is effectively implemented. We actively welcome the full engagement of parents and guardians and, where necessary, seek the support and advice from outside specialists to ensure that we implement effective strategies and provisions, whilst ensuring that we maintain a breadth of skill and knowledge amongst our staff to meet the needs of all learners.

Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator is Mrs Jackie West.

Mr West is aided by the Headteacher, Mr Graham Pike and the SEND Governor, Mrs Jemma Donnelly. Together they support the Class Teachers to deliver Quality First Teaching and effectively adapt or scaffold learning for all children who have Special Educational Needs or Disabilities.

If you would like more information about how we support children with SEND, then please contact the school office: StAndrewsPrimary@sgmail.org.uk
