Our Vision for Special Educational Needs

At Vallis First School we are committed to giving all our children every opportunity to ‘…be the best they can be.’ The achievement, attitude and well-being of every child matters and inclusion is the responsibility of everyone within our school. Every teacher is a teacher of every pupil, including those with special educational needs and disabilities. We respect the unique contribution which every individual can make to our school community.

At Vallis First School all children, regardless of their particular needs, are provided with inclusive teaching which will enable them to make the best possible progress and feel that they are a valued member of the wider school community. We expect that all children with SEND will meet or exceed the high expectations we set for them against national data and based on their age and starting points. We will use our best endeavours to give children with SEND the support they need, whilst having access to a broad and balanced curriculum. Working in partnership with families, it is our aim that children will become confident individuals able to make a successful transition on to the next phase of their education.

Our SENCO is Io Fox and Assistant SENCO is Sue Cobb.
