At Chorlton Park Primary School, we believe that all our children have an equal right of access to a broad and balanced curriculum which enables them to achieve educational success and to reach their full potential. We use our best endeavours to meet each child’s additional needs and make reasonable adjustments in order for them and their families to fully participate in the life of the school.
We understand that some children, at some point during their primary years, may need additional support to access the learning at their level. We seek to identify and assess such ‘special educational needs’ promptly, in consultation with parents. Children may receive support individually, in small groups or through resources and equipment made available in class, and progress is monitored regularly.
The SEND Local Offer offers information for parents, in a single place. The Local Offer helps children, young people and their parents to understand what services and support they can expect from a range of local agencies - including their statutory entitlements.
