“Every child, every need, every chance to thrive.”
At White Meadows Academy, we are committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment where every child, regardless of their individual needs or abilities, is valued and supported. We believe that all students, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), have the right to access a high-quality education and to be fully included in all aspects of school life. Through personalised support, collaborative partnerships with families, and a culture of respect and understanding, we strive to ensure that every child can thrive, develop their potential, and feel a sense of belonging in our school community.
We work as a team to make available inclusive provision for all our pupils, so they can access the National Curriculum at an appropriate level, benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum and achieve their full potential. We believe in supporting the progress of the whole child including their social and emotional development. We have an excellent pastoral team which includes four learning mentors, a behaviour mentor and a play therapist, who work together to ensure our pupils feel safe, secure and well-supported in school.(see Ofsted report July 2022).
Our SENCO, Mrs A Ferrier, can be contacted via our school office [email protected]
