Together we belong,
together we succeed.
At Manor Park Primary School, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued and that they truly belong. We are committed to providing an inclusive, nurturing and ambitious education where all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), can learn, participate and achieve their potential.
Every voice is valued.
How we support children
Inclusive Teaching and Learning
We meet children’s needs through high-quality teaching, reasonable adjustments and inclusive learning environments so all children can access the curriculum and participate fully in school life.
Wellbeing, Belonging and Participation
Our whole-school approach places a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, positive relationships and a sense of belonging. Our Wellbeing, Belonging and Participation Pathway helps us identify needs early and plan the right support.
Personalised Support
Where children need additional help, we follow a graduated approach of Assess, Plan, Do, Review. Support is tailored to individual needs and may include targeted interventions, specialist advice and individualised provision delivered by skilled staff, within school and alongside external professionals.
Working with Families
We work in close partnership with parents and carers, value children’s voices and collaborate with external professionals so we can understand needs and ensure the best possible support at school and beyond.
We are an inclusive school where differences are celebrated and every child is supported to thrive. We have high expectations for all learners and remove barriers to learning so children can make strong progress, develop independence and achieve their potential.
Our Graduated Approach
We use a graduated approach to identify and meet the needs of all learners, including children with SEND, disadvantaged pupils, pupils with English as an additional language (EAL), pupils with medical needs and those who may need support with their social, emotional and mental health (SEMH). We consider the needs of the whole child and work to remove barriers to learning and participation.
We identify and understand individual needs using pupil voice, assessment information and professional advice.
We agree clear, individualised targets and support with children, families and professionals as appropriate.
We put agreed strategies into practice through inclusive teaching, targeted interventions and specialist input.
We evaluate progress and impact, listen to children and families, and adjust support as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SEND at Manor Park.
What should I do if I think my child has SEND?
Speak to your child’s class teacher first. We will listen to your concerns, consider what you and school have noticed and agree next steps. Our SENCo can be involved where needed.
How are children with SEND included in school life?
We make reasonable adjustments and plan appropriate support so pupils can take part in learning, wider activities and school life alongside their peers.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
No. We identify needs and put appropriate support in place based on the barriers a child is experiencing. A diagnosis is not required before support begins.
Who do I speak to if I have a concern?
Your child’s class teacher is usually the first point of contact. They can involve the SENCo or inclusion leadership team where appropriate.
How will I know what support my child is receiving?
We work with families to explain the support in place, agree priorities and review progress. Your child’s teacher can discuss what is being provided and how it is helping.
Where can I find more information?
See the policy and parent support sections above, or contact the school to speak with a member of the inclusion team.
