St Mark’s C of E Junior School is committed to offering an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all of our pupils whatever their needs, backgrounds or abilities. We have the same high expectations and educational aims for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), as we do for all the children in our school. The school makes every effort to provide a safe, secure and inclusive environment for teachers and pupils, which ensures that the needs and disabilities of all pupils are met to acceptable standards and do not present as barriers to their learning.

Children may have special educational needs either throughout, or at any time, during their school career. We ensure that curriculum planning and assessment for children with special educational needs takes account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the child.
