Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Psalm 139:14 of the Bible

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

At Egerton Church of England Primary school we value all our children and in partnership with our parents, aim to ensure full and equal access to every aspect of learning and the curriculum, irrespective of their ethnic background, gender, disability, religious or linguistic background. We strive hard to meet the needs of those pupils with special educational needs, those with disabilities, those who are more able, those with special gifts and talents and the children who are learning English as an additional language. We provide a rich, challenging curriculum which stretches all of our children. Staff are aware of children who have exceptional talents and gifts and monitor or track their progress carefully to ensure their academic potential or talent is continually developed. For further details, see separate policies.

We welcome any opportunity to work together with families to support our children. Please feel free to contact us by telephone on 01233 756274, informally at drop off or collection, by email at office@egerton.kent.sch.uk or come into the office to make an appointment.
