Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) have the greatest need for excellent teaching and are entitled to provision that supports achievement at, and enjoyment of, school.
At Malton Primary Academy, we offer a fully inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible outcomes for all of our pupils; whatever their needs and abilities.
We ensure that pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are fully included in all aspects of school life. We believe that pupils with SEND and their parents/carers should be at the heart of planning and decision making.
We provide opportunities for pupils with SEND and their parents/carers to play an active role in planning their provision in accordance with the SEND Code of Practice 2015.
Our vision for SEND is to provide high quality inclusive teaching that meets the needs of all pupils. Our practice and the strategies we use to support pupils are rooted in evidence of what best practice is and based on externally validated approaches, including the Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools Guidance Report from the Education Endowment Foundation EEF.
Further to our own school policies, please see a link to the Local Authority ‘Local Offer’. This provides what families and children should expect in terms of support if they have special educational needs and disabilities. https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/children-and-families/send-local-offer
Any complaints regarding SEND need to be taken in line with our complaints procedure. This can be found on the Policies section of the website.
