Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
At Park Primary, we are committed to being an inclusive school where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. We recognise that children may need additional support at different points in their educational journey, and we are dedicated to providing the appropriate support at the right time to ensure all pupils can access learning and thrive.
Our approach is child-centred, meaning we tailor our support to meet the individual needs of each child. We work closely with parents, carers and external agencies to create a collaborative and supportive environment that promotes each child’s development and wellbeing.
To strengthen our provision, we have an appointed SEND Governor who oversees our inclusive practices, alongside a dedicated SENDCo who leads and coordinates SEND provision across the school. Our Interim SENDCo, Mrs Rhiannon Ellis-Davies, works closely with pupils, families, staff and external professionals to ensure that children with SEND receive appropriate support and provision to meet their individual needs.
At Park Primary, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. We are committed to removing barriers to learning and creating an environment where all children can feel supported, included and able to thrive.
