SEND AT TILLINGTON MANOR PRIMARY SCHOOL

At Tillington Manor Primary School we welcome everybody into our school community.  The staff, governors, pupils and parents work together to make Tillington Manor a happy, friendly place where children can achieve their best by working together. We are committed to offering an inclusive curriculum. 

Tillington Manor Primary School values and celebrates diversity of interest, achievement and experience. All pupils need to experience praise, recognition and success, and pupils with SEND have an equal entitlement to this.  This policy outlines the framework for the school to meet its duty, obligation and principal equality values, to provide a high quality education to all of its pupils, including pupils with SEND, and do everything that it can to meet the needs of pupils with SEND.  

By working together in school, with parents, colleagues from within TMPS and outside agencies, Tillington Manor ensures that the curriculum provided is accessible to all pupils, in accordance with the Equality Act (2010) and Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations (2014).

At Tillington Manor Primary School, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be recognised by the Local Authority for the strength of our SEND provision and the positive outcomes achieved for our pupils with additional needs. Our approach is rooted in the belief that when we get provision right for our most vulnerable learners, we improve the experience and outcomes for every child in our school. Staff have a strong understanding of individual needs and use a range of evidence-based strategies and interventions to support pupils effectively. Tools such as WellComm are used to identify and support speech and language development, while Widgit symbols and visual supports help pupils to access learning, develop independence and communicate successfully. Alongside high-quality adaptive teaching, targeted interventions and close collaboration with families and external professionals, these approaches ensure that pupils with SEND are supported to achieve their full potential academically, socially and emotionally within a fully inclusive school community.
