Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Policy - 2024
Our policy sets out the ways in which we support children and families with special educational needs and disabilities. It outlines what you should do if you have any concerns about your child's needs, or if your child has a disability and needs support.
Types of SEN and Disability we make provision for at Palterton Primary School
At Palterton Primary School we make provision for pupils with different types of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities including:
-
Moderate Learning Difficulties
-
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
-
Autistic Spectrum Disorders
- Sensory Impairment
We are an inclusive organisation, and we will make provision for other needs where we can make all reasonable adjustments including training for all appropriate staff.
Our Named contact for Special Educational Needs
