Inclusion
We believe in inclusion for all. We value all our pupils. We believe that all children have an equal right to an education that enables them to develop their personal, social and intellectual potential. At Oak Primary School, we have a commitment to high achievement and we strive to provide all our children with a quality education matched appropriately to their particular needs. For children with SEND, assessment needs to focus on what the child can do, and what the barriers to their learning are. Children’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are identified quickly. We work with parents to ensure that all children promptly receive any extra help they need, so they can progress well in their learning. Working in partnership with parents provides our children with a consistent approach. Effective scaffolding allows all children to access a quality curriculum by providing just enough help to do something which they couldn’t do independently. We gradually reduce the help until the child is independent. It helps children with SEND to work towards the same learning goals as other children, with additional help along the way.
