Downe Manor aims to enable children to develop a caring and responsible attitude to life, both in school and in the wider community. We are committed to ensuring that our pupils attain the highest standard of achievement of which they are capable. We promote our children’s spiritual, moral and cultural development through the curriculum and the wide variety of activities undertaken during the school year. We have excellent new school facilities which opened two years ago. The school was specially designed for us, and offers a high quality modern, pleasant and safe environment for children to enjoy learning.
Ethos and values
Downe Manor values excellence. We celebrate the
strengths and talents of everyone in our school community and
encourage them to achieve their best. This is appreciated by others
and as a result we are a Beacon school. We know we do well!
Summary of special educational needs policy
We have a whole-school approach to meeting
children's needs. The responsibilities for this are shared by the
class teacher, the learning support team, the SENCO and the child's
parents/carers. Identification and support are carefully
planned and monitored, with regular meetings taking place to
discuss each child’s progress. We believe that home involvement is
essential if our school-based support is to have maximum
effect.
