At Maple Grove Primary School, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive environment where every child can access a rich and varied curriculum. We thoughtfully consider each child's individual needs and strive to offer the care and support necessary for their success.

Our school is committed to helping every child reach their full potential. We identify and support children with learning or behavioural difficulties—whether short-term or more complex—through tailored interventions based on careful assessment and collaboration between teachers, parents, and the SENCO. Parents are involved at every stage, and no decisions are made without their consent. High expectations and accountability are at the heart of our approach.

The provision that Maple Grove Primary offers children and young people (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and/or Medical Needs is detailed in the following documents. They have been drafted in line with the SEND code of practice (2015), which details what the local authorities expect to be available for children and young people who have SEND and the Department for Education’s guidance released in April 2014 “Supporting Pupils at School with Medical Conditions”.
