SEND

"Pupils enjoy their learning and the vast majority achieve well. Those who need extra support receive this. The school is highly inclusive." (Ofsted May 2024)

"Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress from their starting points. This is because the school has effective systems in place to identify additional needs and ensure staff adapt the curriculum, when needed. These pupils are closely monitored and included in all parts of school life." (Ofsted May 2024)

"School leaders are relentless in supporting the needs of pupils of all abilities and backgrounds... Vulnerable pupils, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and higher achievers are quickly identified. They are carefully supported to reach their full potential. Pupils are encouraged to be courageous learners, to help others and work together to solve problems. Teachers feel they know pupils well, due to the school’s size. This enables them to tailor the curriculum, encouraging individual flourishing... Parents readily explain how staff make sure each child is understood and loved in the school family. As a result, they progress well and reach their full potential at the primary stage of education." (SIAMS June 2023)

"Many pupils, including pupils with SEND, enjoy the quiet ‘reading nook’ in the school’s garden, alongside a range of other activities for them to play and enjoy during social times." (Ofsted May 2024)
