Description

Glenfall Community Primary School sees the inclusion of children identified as having special educational needs as an equal opportunities issue, and we will aim to model inclusion in our staffing policies, relationships with parents/carers and the community. We follow the Code of Practice for SEN.  We make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to support SEN pupils and are mindful of the school community as a whole. 

Mrs Nicola Grisman the school SENCO has a Post Graduate Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties and a Post Graduate Diploma in Inclusive Education. We are lucky to have qualified teachers amongst our teaching assistant staff. We are an autism friendly school and have received The Gloucestershire Autism Inclusion Quality Mark. The majority of our teachers and teaching assistants received the Autism Level Two on line training award. We have teaching assistants who are TEAM TEACH trained and who are able to deliver specific programmes such as Fizzy (a programme for children with co-ordination difficulties). Teachers and teaching assistants regularly attend additional training and awareness courses.
