Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)

Cledford Primary School is an inclusive school that aims to provide a caring, supportive and accessible environment in which all pupils are valued equally and are given the opportunity to develop their full potential. We provide a nurturing environment and aim to fully include children with special educational needs and/or disabilities in all aspects of school life. Some children with high levels of need may follow a more personalised curriculum tailored to their individual needs. Within our school, there is a wide range of expertise, strategies and resources that enable staff to embrace our inclusive ethos. This includes provision for children with emotional, social and behavioural needs, as well as academic needs. 

The SEND Team are available to talk to you if you feel that your child has any additional needs. They will work with you, the class teacher and your child and, where it is felt to be of benefit, they will approach outside agencies for further advice and support. Our aim is to work co-operatively to the benefit of each child.

WEEKLY SENDCO DROP-IN:

We offer a weekly drop-in for parents/carers to have a brief chat with our SENDCo, Mr Simpson, every Wednesday morning. Drop-ins take place in the Dane meeting room which is next to the main office between 8:45am - 9:15am. There is no appointment needed. This is an opportunity to discuss any additional needs that your child may have. If you would prefer a telephone call, from the SENDCo or your child's class teacher, or require a longer meeting please contact the school office.
