Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Navenby Primary school is committed to meeting the educational needs of all our pupils including those children that need additional support. A Special Educational Need is any difficulty or barrier that affects a child's ability to learn and to access the curriculum. A Disability is a long term health condition which causes a difficulty or barrier to learn or to access any area of the curriculum.

We endeavour to ensure that all children are supported through:

· Full involvement of parents/carers as partners

· Making provision for meeting pupils’ special educational needs, the setting and marking of work appropriate to the individual need of the child, and where necessary through the development of individual or group learning programmes

· Establishing and maintaining links with all outside agencies, educational support services, secondary and special schools

· Ensuring all staff can access development programmes concerned with special educational needs

· Monitoring and developing how the school provides for equal access in line with the Disability Discrimination Act.

Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is Mrs Pridmore. Parents can contact her personally in school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, or via the school office or by email (torie.pridmore@navenby.lincs.sch.uk) at any time.
