Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

A special educational need or disability (SEND) can often be noticed in the Early Years for the first time if pupils struggle to achieve age related expectations. Cramlington Village Primary School adheres to the DfE's Code of Practice on the identification and assessment of SEND. We strongly believe that children identified with additional educational needs should access appropriate provision as soon as is possible.

Our practice promotes early identification as this is beneficial for the child, and is in line with the ethos promoted by the Every Child Matters framework. The key objective of our policy is to identify and assess children with special educational needs as early as possible. This means that children can then receive the best intervention necessary to meet their needs. In turn they can reach their full potential.

Please see information in the files below about our provision for children with SEND.
