SEND

We include and welcome all children and adults at Laddingford St Mary’s Church of England Primary, where we aim to provide a safe and accessible environment and curriculum that takes into account the needs of all pupils, staff and visitors to the school.

We accept children into school regardless of their access difficulties or other identified disabilities.

We accept the Kent definition of a disability and are committed to following the county’s guidance regarding access, within the limits of the school building and grounds.

In the case where parents of a child with a disability approach the school for a place, we commit to working with them and all appropriate agencies to try and facilitate the needs of that child.

Similarly, if a child should develop or acquire a disability during their time at school, we actively seek ways in which to accommodate them so as to minimise disruption to their education and maintain social contacts.
