We believe that every child matters and that the fundamental purpose of education is to prepare students to lead fulfilled, productive, responsible, happy and successful adult lives.
Our vision for children and young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND) is the same as for all children. We strive to ensure access for all to educational excellence in preparing children and young people for their futures, seeking to continually improve attainment and progress for all and secure the highest levels of achievement appropriate to the individual learner.
The Government provides some advice for parents and carers about Special Educational Needs and Disabilities which you can access here https://www.gov.uk/children-with-special-educational-needs

We are committed to ensuring that pupils with medical conditions are fully supported in school so that they can:
If a student has a medical need, they will have a Care Plan, which is compiled in consultation with parents and one of our medical assistants. The plan is discussed with all staff who are involved with the student and is added to the student’s profile, so staff can access it.
Staff receive regular medical training delivered by the school medical assistant and are aware of where they can access further information as required.
Where necessary and in agreement with parents, medicines are administered in school but only with signed parental consent and with medicines in the original packaging.
At Lift Plumberow we follow The Code of Practice relating to the education of children with special needs. Children's individual progress is monitored carefully throughout the school and every effort is made to match work to individual needs. Some children may receive help within the classroom from a member of the Special Needs team, or they may follow individual programmes of work devised by the class teacher and Special Needs coordinator.
Miss Martin is the Special Needs co-ordinator and can be contacted via the school office. The school actively promotes inclusion and aims to care for the needs of pupils across the learning spectrum. Children with specific learning needs are provided with support appropriate to their needs.
The Special Needs Co-ordinator maintains an SEN register and the progress of pupils is reviewed regularly. The academy also accesses a range of LEA support and has an organised programme of visits from the Educational Psychologist.
The Plumberow Primary Academy Special Educational Needs and Disabilities School Information Report can be viewed.

For students with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, or moderate learning difficulties that affect students in a range of cognitive areas.
For students who struggle to engage in the social aspects of school, or who find it hard to cope with challenging emotions. This will range from students needing short-term assistance during a turbulent time in their life, to students with a recognised condition such as ADD or ADHD.
For students who have speech, language and communication needs, a specific language impairment or a range of communication difficulties. Students who find it difficult to interact with others are supported within this area.
Students whose need is primarily sensory and, or physical have their support overseen by the area of need leader in this team. This team would support students with hearing or visual impairments as well as students with physical needs.
