Supporting Every Child with SEND at Whittingham C of E Primary School

At our school, every member of staff shares the responsibility of supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We approach this with kindness, courage, and a commitment to helping every child thrive.

Class teachers lead the learning and progress of all pupils, supported by specialist staff when needed, while working closely with parents and listening to the children themselves. We celebrate each child’s individuality, nurture their potential, and recognise their achievements, ensuring every child feels valued and respected—regardless of ability, race, culture, or beliefs.

Partnership with parents is vital. We encourage open communication, collaboration, and shared problem-solving to ensure each child receives the support they need. Through these shared efforts, we create a school where every child feels empowered, included, and inspired to reach their full potential.
