Summary of special educational needs policy
At North Primary School we have effective screening
procedures for identifying and assessing children’s special
educational needs. Often these learning difficulties are relatively
minor and can be overcome with extra help from the class teacher.
Sometimes additional support is provided or arranged by our special
needs co-ordinator and, where necessary, specialist outside
experts.
