Additional Learning Needs

The Inclusion Manager, in collaboration with the Headteacher and Governing Body, plays a key role in determining the strategic development of the ALN policy and provision in the school in order to raise the achievement of children with ALN.

Provision is made for individual children with ALN, working closely with Staff, Parents and Carers, and other agencies. The Inclusion Manager is also designated as having responsibility for promoting the educational achievement of Looked After Children (LAC).

Child Protection Officers in the school are the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher and the Inclusion Manager.

As a school we aim to help children to:-

• create an environment that meets the additional learning needs of each child;
• ensure that the additional learning needs of children are identified, assessed and provided for;
• make clear the expectations of all partners in the process;
• identify the roles and responsibilities of Staff in providing for children's additional learning needs;
• enable all children to have full access to all elements of the school curriculum.
