“This school provides excellent provision for children with SEND and support for vulnerable, disadvantaged children and their families. Inclusion is central to the school ethos.” (SENDIA, 19th June 2019)
According to our latest OFSTED Report in Oct 2023:
“The school has high expectations of what pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Most pupils achieve well across the curriculum.”
“The school, governors and trustees have a shared vision that all pupils, including those in Inspection report: Newall Green Primary School 11 and 12 October 2023 2 the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision), will achieve their very best. “
“The school is quick to identify pupils who may have additional needs. Staff work diligently with external agencies, parents and carers to ensure that they understand pupils’ needs well. Staff are suitably trained to adapt their delivery of the curriculum to successfully meet these needs. Most pupils with SEND access the same curriculum as their peers. Pupils in the specially resourced provision benefit from learning that is carefully broken down into small, achievable steps. This helps many of these pupils to join their peers in the mainstream classrooms for part of the curriculum. Pupils with SEND are included in all aspects of school life.”
Newall Green Primary School is a mainstream primary school that caters for children from 3-11 years old. We also have a Resource Provision for children in EYFS and KS1 with social, communication and learning difficulties. Places for this are allocated through the Local Authority for children who already have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). In addition, we have an Alternative Provision for children with Social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH), places for this provision are allocated through Bridgelea Placement Panel or via a Tier 2 intervention, which can be arranged by contacting our AP lead. Newall Green Primary School is an inclusive school, we believe in providing every possible opportunity to develop the full potential of all children. We aim to celebrate effort as much as achievement. At Newall Green Primary School, we have a SEND Team who co-ordinate Special Educational Needs and Disability Provision across the school:
