Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and Inclusion

At Measham C of E Primary School, we are proud to be a fully inclusive school. We believe that every child is unique and deserves the very best opportunities to succeed. Our aim is to remove barriers to learning so that all children – including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) – can flourish academically, socially and emotionally.

Our school’s Christian values of Love, Hope, Peace, Respect, Thankfulness and Forgiveness are at the heart of our approach, alongside our character muscles such as resilience, perseverance and curiosity. We believe that these values, taught and modelled daily, help all children grow in confidence and independence.

Our approach to SEND

• Early identification: Teachers and support staff are skilled at spotting when a child may need additional help. We work closely with parents and carers to gather information and agree next steps.
• Working together: Parents are invited to regular meetings to review progress, set targets and discuss the support in place. We know you are the experts on your child, and your views matter.
• Listening to children: Wherever possible, children are included in discussions about their learning. They may share their ideas through conversations, drawings or pupil voice activities.
• Adaptive teaching: Teachers carefully adapt lessons to meet the needs of all pupils, with additional resources, small-group work or 1:1 support where appropriate.
• Specialist advice: When needed, we work with external professionals such as speech and language therapists, Educational Psychologists and Autism Outreach.

Inclusion in school life

We are committed to ensuring that all children are part of the wider life of the school. Children with SEND are encouraged and supported to take part in:

• Educational visits and residential trips
• After-school clubs and extra-curricular activities
• Whole-school events such as Sports Day, productions and worship

We make reasonable adjustments where needed so that every child can be included, and risk assessments are carried out to ensure safety.
