- Local Offer
At Andoversford, we strive to create a safe, engaging and challenging learning environment where every child is valued. Staff, parents, governors and the wider community all work together to make sure that all children are on the path to success from the very first steps in their educational journey. We offer an exciting and engaging experience, with rich curriculum topics and plenty of opportunities to develop a love of learning.
Our extensive grounds mean that we can offer excellent opportunities to take part in outdoor learning and sporting activities, which enhance the curriculum. Learning doesn't only happen in the classroom! Our central philosophy is to support pupils to make decisions, manage risks and take responsibility for themselves. In essence, we aim to make sure that children are well-prepared for the next phase of their education, but more importantly, that they are well-prepared for life!
Take a look around our website to find out more information about us, and we look forward to welcoming you in school.

- Description
At Andoversford Primary School, we ensure that all children are valued equally, regardless of their abilities and/or social, emotional or behavioural needs. We understand that many pupils will have special educational needs at some time during their school life and that the best way of helping them is for everyone involved to work together. We are committed to valuing and nurturing each child as an individual who will achieve their best and develop an enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
We want all our children and young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), to achieve the best possible outcomes and receive the support they need when they need it most. We have built on the SEND pathway and the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) to develop one integrated, holistic Graduated Pathway of Early Help and Support. This pathway will enable practitioners to work with children, young people and their families ensuring they receive the right support.
We believe in developing a strong partnership with parents to meet the needs of their children and regularly inform them of their child’s progress, next steps and how they can help at home. Any child who requires special help will be referred, after prior consultation with the Parents/Carers, to one of the support services e.g. Speech Therapy, Educational Psychology, Behavioural Support, School Nurse, Occupational Therapy and Vision Support.
At Andoversford Primary School, we have employ a SENDCo, Cat Henderson, who oversees the provision for pupils with SEND in the school.
For more information or to contact our SENDCo please email: send@andoversford.gloucs.sch.uk
