John Wheeldon Primary Academy’s core moral purpose is encapsulated in the vision statement for the academy: Perseverance…Respectful…Outstanding…Unique…Dynamic.
We are committed to meeting the needs of all pupils including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We expect every child with SEND to receive a full and enriching education to enable them to achieve their potential. John Wheeldon Primary Academy regards pupils as having special educational needs if they have a significantly greater difficulty learning than the majority of learners at the same age or if they have a disability which either prevents or hinders them from making use of the educational facilities provided for learners of the same age.
We involve external experts whenever necessary to improve our offer and ensure that children’s needs are identified and met as quickly as possible. We similarly ensure that staff have the relevant training and support to ensure that best practice is used with regard to SEND.
Teachers and support staff have frequent and open communication ensuring that the school community works together to implement plans and provide for children with SEND. Through effective teaching and learning, support and encouragement and working closely with parents, carers and outside agencies we enable the fulfilment of each child. Our curriculum is designed to consider every child’s starting point and the small steps they need to succeed through reasonable adjustments, resources and visual aids.
Our SENCO is Miss N Firth.
