Special Educational Needs
The levels of support and provision offered by Garras School
Throughout their time at Garras School, pupils may receive different levels of support according to their individual educational needs. At Garras, we are committed to adapting to the changing needs of each pupil to ensure they make progress in all aspects of their school life, fostering caring, curious, and courageous learners.
Garras Community Primary School:
- puts children at the heart of the learning process, promoting a caring and inclusive ethos where every pupil feels valued and supported;
- gives children the opportunity to be curious, initiating their own learning experiences and following lines of enquiry that inspire and engage them;
- allows adults to use observation and assessment to plan further learning experiences, correct misconceptions, identify possible lines of development and set next steps that encourage pupils to be courageous in their learning journey;
- develops core learning skills by listening carefully to children’s dialogue and providing opportunities that support deeper exploration and confidence-building;
- ensures all aspects of the curriculum (EYFS and National Curriculum) can be met through a play-based, stimulating and exploratory learning environment that nurtures curiosity and care;
- encourages children to become independent, self-motivated and reflective learners who demonstrate courage in tackling challenges and care for themselves and others.
As a community primary school with strong ‘family’ values at the heart of everything we do, it is important to us to create a fully inclusive environment where every child can develop emotionally, socially and academically. We are dedicated to ensuring all children have the opportunity to achieve their full potential as caring, curious and courageous individuals.
