At Courthill Infant School we believe that all pupils have unique and individual needs and recognise that all pupils are entitled to a quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their full potential, academically, socially and emotionally. It is therefore our intention to ensure that all children receive a high-quality and ambitious education regardless of a pupils need or disability. We believe that it is vital that our pupils are equipped with the tools needed to become independent, inquisitive learners both in and out of the classroom.

We believe in educating the whole child, removing barriers to learning,  raising expectations and levels of achievement and working in partnership with parents/carers, pupils and other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils, including those with a special educational need or disability. We believe building relationships with pupils and their families is essential for pupils to succeed in their learning.

Aims

Through our high quality planning, teaching and provision we: 

• Pride ourselves on early identification and intervention for SEND to ensure that progress and opportunities are maximized ensuring effective provision and improved long term outcomes for every child.
• Ensure that all children have access to a broad and balanced curriculum which is differentiated to enable children to understand the relevance and purpose of learning.
• Provide an accessible learning environment which is tailored to the individual needs of all pupils. 
• Develop children’s independence and life skills
• Regularly monitor the progress of children with SEND, using a child-centred approach. 
• Provide good quality and relevant training for all staff members supporting children with SEND. 
• Work in partnership with parents and carers. 
• Work closely with external agencies and other professionals to hone and develop our provision for children with SEND.  
• Remove barriers to learning so that all children can ‘Believe, Achieve, Shine’.
