Newby Primary School

Intent:

At Newby Primary School we believe that all children with Special Educational Needs must have their needs recognised and assessed, through a whole-school approach, with appropriate and timely intervention put in place through an assess, plan, do, review cycle.   We intend to ensure that all children receive a high-quality and ambitious education regardless of need or disability. We value our children’s feelings, creativeness and success in their learning equally so that our pupils are equipped with the tools needed to become independent, inquisitive learners both in and out of the classroom.  

Implementation 

At Newby Primary School, we believe that all teachers are teachers of children with special educational needs and it is therefore a whole school responsibility to ensure that these children’s needs are addressed.  As such, inclusion is a thread that runs through every area of the school enhanced by collaboration between senior leaders, teachers, support staff, external agencies, parents/carers and most importantly, the child.   All staff have due regard to general duties to promote disability equality, including having a clear understanding of youth mental health issues and how to approach these with sensitivity and care.
