Special Educational Needs

"All staff have the same high expectations of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Leaders identify pupils’ needs quickly. Appropriate and precise plans are in place to ensure pupils with SEND receive the help they need. Pupils with SEND work alongside their classmates in all lessons. They work confidently and independently. Pupils with SEND make strong progress."

Inclusion

Inclusion is seen to involve the identification and minimising of barriers to learning
and participation, and the maximising of resources to support learning participation’
Index for Inclusion – Booth and Ainscow 2000

Successful inclusion should result in every pupil feeling safe, confident and happy at
school. Successful inclusion should see every pupil making the best progress of
which they are able and enjoying their time at school – be that in lessons, during
their play or lunchtimes or when involved in any of our Extended School activities.
Successful inclusion should promote every pupil’s belief in themselves as a learner
and valued member of our school community.

Successful inclusive provision at Dewhurst St Mary CE Primary is seen as the
responsibility of the whole school community, permeating all aspects of school life
and applicable to all our pupils
