Special Educational Needs and Disability

At Norton CEVC Primary School we welcome everybody into our school community. The staff, governors, pupils and parents work together to make Norton CEVC Primary School a happy, welcoming place where children and adults can achieve their full potential and develop as confident individuals. This means that equality of opportunity must be a reality for our children. We make this happen through the attention we pay to the different groups of children in our school, thus providing a learning environment that enables ALL pupils to make the greatest progress and achieve their full potential in a caring, supportive and fully inclusive environment.

We are committed to narrowing the gap between SEND and non-SEND pupils. All SEND children and those identified as ‘vulnerable' or at risk of not making at least expected progress are supported through Pupil Passports which set out targets that are reviewed termly and which identify specific areas for development for each child. Pupil passports highlight measures that the school has in place to help children achieve their targets, which include short term intervention learning programmes and suggestions for ways in which parents can support their child at home.

As learners we want our pupils to be resourceful, reflective, resilient and risk takers, these learning behaviours are key and are reinforced and celebrated in class daily. Our Growth Mindsets approach to learning underpins all that we do at Norton CEVC Primary School and enables ALL of our pupils to become increasingly effective and successful learners.

Miss Rebecca Miles is the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO), with Mrs Lisa Sparkes, Headteacher and trained SENCO providing support. If you wish to contact her then please contact the office on 01359 230520 or email office@norton.suffolk.sch.uk
