SEND & INCLUSION

“Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write, and count. Childhood is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace which is right for each individual child.” – Magda Gerber (shared by the Multi-Schools Council)

At Millfields Primary School, we are committed to fostering an inclusive community where every child is valued and supported to thrive. We believe that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), should learn and grow together in an environment that nurtures self-confidence, independence and individual talents.

Our vision is to create a school where every child can achieve their full potential through tailored support, collaborative planning, and inclusive practices. Teachers carefully plan to meet the diverse needs of all children, working closely with the SENDCo and other professionals to provide personalised learning opportunities.

We embrace the principles of the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2015), ensuring that families, children and staff work in partnership to plan small, measurable, achievable, realistic targets (SMART) to help children to progress. Together, we strive to build a community where inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, empowering every child to succeed.
