VISION 

Learning together, Growing together

MISSION

We at Primus are committed to meeting the needs of the children with special educational needs and disability and ensure that they achieve their full learning potential through access to broad, balanced, creative and challenging curriculum and a wide variety of opportunities and experiences.

The school’s SEND admission policy has the right to admit students with learning difficulties or physical disabilities and adequate provisions will be made to meet their respective needs. It is whole school responsibility to meet the needs of children with SEND.

Children may have a learning difficulty if they:

  • Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age; or
  • Have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of the educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in schools within the area of the educational authority.
  • Are under compulsory school age and fall within the definition at (a) or (b) above or would so if special education was not made for them.

This approach recognizes that there is a continuum of special educational needs, and that a range of strategies and classroom resources should be put in place before calling upon outside  resources.
