SEND

All children at Meltham Moor get the support they need to learn, play and have fun together. For some children with special educational needs or disabilities, this might mean some extra help or resources are needed.

Meltham Moor Primary School is an educationally inclusive school. The achievements, attitudes and well-being of every person in the school matters. This is made evident in our ethos and values. We believe that every teacher is a teacher of Special Educational Needs and we plan for the needs of each child, in partnership with other specialist services where appropriate. We aim for every child to be fully included in school life and value diversity and celebrate all our talents and differences.

We plan actively to identify additional needs at an early stage and to put in place strategies and support to overcome barriers to learning, whatever these may be. We aim for all children to achieve their best, personally, socially and academically.

If you’d like any more information, or would prefer to have a chat, please contact school and ask to speak to our SENDCo, Katherine Manuel.
