Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

At Scarning V.C Primary School we are committed to providing an appropriate and high quality education to all the children in our school. We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs and disabilities have an entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life. Scarning is committed to inclusion. We aim to engender a sense of community and belonging, and to offer new opportunities to learners who may have experienced previous difficulties.

Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities coordinator is Erika Simpson.
