SEN & Disability

Upton Primary School believes that all children should be respected and valued according to the school’s aims and ethos statement. 

We work hard to ensure that all pupils: Have a broad and balanced curriculum which is differentiated to meet individual needs and learning preferences.

• Have access to a purposeful learning environment that enables them to make progress according to their individual developmental trends.
• Are assessed appropriately using assessment tools and guidelines.
• Have equal access to resources, provision and intervention as needed.

Special Educational needs provision is educational provision that is additional to or different from that made generally for others of the same age. This means provision that goes beyond the differentiated approaches and learning arrangements normally provided as part of quality first teaching. It may take the form of additional support from within a setting or require involvement of specialist staff or support services.

Our school has a SENDCO who are responsible for the management of provision and/or support for identified pupils with SEND.

Their contact details are:

What is the local offer?

The Local Offer was first introduced in the Green Paper (March 2011) as a local offer of all services to support disabled children and children with SEN and their families.  This easy to understand information will set out what is normally available in schools to help children with lower-level SEN as well as the options available to support families who need additional help to care for their child.
