Statement of Intent for Supporting Equality

The staff and governors at Welshampton Primary School aim to address special needs provision through a whole school approach. Our ethos is one of collaboration and inclusion between senior management, teachers, support staff, parents, agencies and, most importantly, the child.

Through a flexible approach to learning, valuing all the child’s achievements, whilst allowing for individual differences, we hope to develop children’s strengths, address their needs and make school an enjoyable, happy and productive time for each child.

Our overall aim is to help all children reach their full potential in a caring and co-operative atmosphere where each child feels respected and valued.

At Welshampton Primary School we strive to ensure that all children:

• have a broad and balanced curriculum, which is differentiated to enable children to:

-understand the relevance and purpose of learning

-experience levels of understanding and rates of progress which bring success and raise self esteem

• provide a secure and safe environment, where children are protected and encouraged to flourish and grow
• have equal access to resources, provision and interventions
