SEND Provision at Orchid Vale

At Orchid Vale Primary School we welcome everybody into our school community and are committed to ensuring the very best education and opportunities for all of our pupils.  The staff, governors, pupils and parents work together to make our school a happy, welcoming and safe place so that all our children can achieve their potential and develop as confident, enquiring, learners.  We make sure that our broad and balanced curriculum is accessible to all and that our six school values (respect, honesty, individuality, responsibility, kindness and perseverance) are at the heart of all we do.

If your child is on the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) register, it means that the school has identified that they may need additional or different support to help them succeed. This support is set out in an individualised support plan, which is a working document shared between school staff and parents. It outlines your child’s strengths, areas of need, and the strategies and adaptations in place to help them access learning and reach their full potential. The plan is regularly reviewed and updated in partnership with you, ensuring that the support continues to meet your child’s needs as they grow and develop.
