All children in our care are embraced for their individual needs and personalities. Every child is valued and accepted so that we can celebrate their strengths, needs and progress.
All staff at Overchurch Infant School are highly trained and current in areas of SEN and inclusion, therefore, tune into children's needs and provide tailored support for children with both SEN and varied learning needs. Our curriculum is personalised to give children the knowledge and skills they will need in an ever-changing world.
Teachers know their children and develop and adapt the curriculum following their interests to ensure maximum engagement and learning. All of this is made possible in our calm and purposeful environments that have been carefully designed to promote independence and learning in fun and creative ways.
