SEND
Our vision of Love, Learn, Thrive strongly influences our approach and commitment to all children including children with additional needs. All children are nurtured as individuals taking into account any additional needs or learning differences. As articulated within the Thrive element of our vision we deeply value every child as an individual recognising that achievement comes in many forms.
Learning with, from and alongside children with range of learning differences helps all children become sensitive and support of diversity preparing them well for life in modern Britain.
Support for children with additional needs is systematically planned and sensitively delivered by our dedicated team of teachers and support staff. This provision is monitored and evaluated by our dedicated non teaching SENDCO, Head teacher and SEND governors.
Provision for children with SEND
At The Federation of Follifoot & Spofforth Church of England Primary Schools we work hard to enable all children to love, learn and thrive. We aim to plan for continuity and progression at our school and upon transfer to secondary education. We recognise the entitlement of all children to a rich, relevant and coherently planned curriculum. Our SEND policy reinforces the need for teaching that is fully inclusive. The Governing Body will ensure that appropriate provision will be made for all pupils with SEND.
Our SENDCO is Claire Ashton. Claire can be contacted by email. For Follifoot School: office@ffspschools.co.uk or for Spofforth School: admin@spofforth.n-yorks.sch.uk
Our SEND Governor is Emma Booth.
The Local Offer
The local offer provides information on what services children, young people and their families can expect from a range of local agencies, including health and social care. Knowing what is out there gives you more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for your child. Information about the North Yorkshire Local Offer can be found on the following links:
