Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Netherton Junior and Infants School is a caring, inclusive school at the heart of our community. Our aim is to promote excellence in teaching and enjoyment in learning as the foundation for success in life through a rich, broad and balanced curriculum.
We believe that we make a difference by creating a safe and stimulating environment where our children and families feel happy and secure. We want every child to be able to engage actively in learning and so be able to reach their full potential in all areas of school life, knowing that they are cared for and supported.
We believe that children’s well-being is at the centre of our life in school and the key to raising academic success. This is supported by high expectations and by developing personal awareness, creativity and social understanding. We place a strong emphasis on trust, honesty, respect and tolerance through a close partnership between children, staff, governors and parents.
Above all, we aim to develop confident, reflective children who are proud to belong to our community and who have a sound knowledge of their own value and purpose in the world, who are able to think creatively and with independence and so see the future as full of possibilities.
