Special Educational Needs
At Thorpe Primary School, we aim to work in partnership with families to meet each child’s individual needs
We aim to provide a stimulating and challenging learning environment, which gives individuals an opportunity to fulfil their potential to the highest possible standard
We want to keep parents informed about the provision available to children.
Thorpe Primary believes that all pupils should be respected and valued.
We work hard to ensure that all pupils:
- Have a wide and balanced curriculum which is differentiated to meet individual needs
- Can learn and make progress according to their individual developmental trends
- Are assessed using appropriate assessment tools and guidelines
- Have equal access to resources, provision and interventions as needed
Special educational provision is 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 high quality, personalised teaching. It may take the form of additional support within a setting or require involvement of specialist support services.
Thorpe has a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) who is responsible for the management of identified pupils with SEND. Our SENCo is Georgia Vincent.
All teachers are teachers of SEND pupils and as such provided quality first teaching.
Key contacts:
- SENCo: Georgia Vincent
- Special Education Needs (SEN) Governor: Samia Kenley
The SENCo and SEN Governor can be contacted through the school office, on 01733 264340.
