SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)
Farnborough Grange Nursery & Infant School is a fully inclusive setting, and all pupils are fully integrated in the life of the school and have a strong sense of belonging. All staff are committed to welcoming children of all abilities and believe that the school should be a happy, caring and secure place where all individuals are respected and valued equally. We believe that all children have the right to a broad, balanced, relevant and adapted curriculum that is appropriate to meet and stretch their knowledge and skills and this reflects our learning values; Respect, Aspire and Belong. The curriculum is flexible and will be adapted where necessary to meet the needs of the individual child ensuring they thrive and succeed in learning.
We adhere to three key principles for inclusion:
- setting suitable learning challenges
- responding to all pupils' diverse needs
- overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of individuals
We recognise that all children are unique and learn at different rates. Many factors affect attainment, progress and overall achievement and a child with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) will need support that is ‘in addition to or different from’ the other children in his / her year group. This additional support for children may require short or long term interventions, recognising single or a combination of areas of needs. We do everything within our power to ensure that children with Special Educational needs are given the best education we can provide and adaptations are made so they can access the curriculum in the best way to enhance and develop their skills and knowledge from their starting point. We develop a love of learning and teach children and families about equality and respect of each other, celebrating differences and supporting each other to be the best we can be.
