Special Educational Needs and Disability Information
In this section you will find information about how we meet the requirements for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Inclusion is always a priority at Norwood Primary School. All staff and the Governing Body are highly committed to inclusion and the principles outlined in our SEN policy; working hard to ensure that provision is made for those who need it and that all children are given the opportunities to be the best they can be. We take pride in our pupils' engagement learning across the curriculum. We believe that much can be done to overcome difficulties that children may experience, by parents, teachers and pupils working together. The school SEND policy and information report is linked at the bottom of this page.
