SEND Information

This page contains information for parents and carers on how we meet the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) at Kingsway Primary School. The SEND Code of Practice (2014) identifies SEND pupils as those with needs that are additional to and different from their peers.

"Pupils with SEND receive effective support. Staff identify and assess the additional
needs of pupils with SEND carefully."

"Our son has SEND needs and he is blooming at Kingsway Primary School.  Thank you to all of the staff for everything they do to support him."

Kingsway Primary School operates under a strong inclusive framework where all staff - class teachers, teaching assistants, leadership and governors - share responsibility for supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We are committed to valuing, respecting, and ensuring equality for every student, creating a school environment focused on inclusion and removing barriers to learning.

Kingsway employs a graduated response: Assess - Plan - Do - Review. This involves tailoring interventions, timetables and resources and adapting them based on emerging needs. Most children identified as having additional needs are supported through this structured process. However, if progress remains limited, the school or parents/carers can request an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), initiating a formal 20-week statutory assessment.

Mr Walker and Miss Dunstan will oversee the support that your child receives by providing professional support for teachers and support staff as well as liaising with external professionals.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s current special needs, or you think your child may need additional support, please do not hesitate to contact the team via the school office on 0161 748 1867.

Our SEND Policy is in line with the SEND Code of Practice and is available below.
