Statement of Intent
Bredenbury Primary School is an inclusive school. Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares all our pupils as confident, happy citizens, irrespective of their individual educational needs. We are a Values-based school where we treat each other with mutual respect and work in a climate where openness and inclusion lay the foundations for our values to be built upon. We seek to promote an educational philosophy based on valuing self, others and the environment.
As part of the 'Children's and families Act 2014' every provider for additional needs is required to give a summary of what it can offer to help support and care for pupils that may require additional support in school. This is known as the 'SEN Information Report'.
Admission of children with SEND
No pupil will be refused admission to school based on his or her special educational needs. In line with the Equality Act 2010 we will not discriminate against disabled children in respect of admissions for a reason related to their disability. We will use our best endeavours to provide effective educational provision. Reasonable adaptations are made to ensure all pupils are included.
