SEND
Dingle Community Primary School is a small, one-form entry, mainstream school from Reception to Year 6, with a governor-led private Pre School (Dingle Ducks). The school is resourced for learning and teaching in the 21st century, where a range of different learning styles are catered for by dedicated and enthusiastic staff members. The welcoming and inclusive ethos of the school ensures that all pupils feel part of the school community and work together in an environment when they feel confident to take risks and try new things.
We aim to provide a fully inclusive mainstream primary provision. It is our priority to help children achieve everything they are capable of regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social background, religion, sexual identity, physical ability or educational needs by providing a nurturing, engaging education, tailored to their own unique needs. We ensure that the learning environments are adapted and that individual needs are recognised in an inclusive and supportive way.
We recognise that pupils learn at different rates and that there are many factors affecting achievement, including ability, emotional state, age and maturity. We are particularly aware of the needs of our Foundation and Key Stage 1 pupils, for whom maturity is a crucial factor in terms of readiness to learn. We believe in both early identification and early intervention. We understand that many pupils, at some time in their school career, may experience difficulties that affect their learning, and we recognise that these may be long or short term.
If you are worried about your child’s learning needs please make an appointment via the school office with our SENCO, Ms Heather who will be happy to discuss any concerns you may have.
