At Burlington Infant and Nursery School we strive to remove barriers to learning, in order that all children are able to access the learning environment with success. Through Quality First Teaching we aim to make learning accessible for all. At Burlington a range of strategies are used to maximise engagement in learning and to ensure that children make progress.
Our drive is for all children to embrace and enjoy their time at school and reach at least age expected levels. However, for some children, additional support is required to help them to achieve this. When children are identified as requiring additional support, we are quick to act.
If children have a learning difficulty that calls for special educational provision to be made this is described as Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND). Some children arrive at the school with a recognised SEND.
In other cases we identify a child to have SEND if they have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age. Children with SEND will have needs and requirements that fall into at least one of the following four areas:
