At Buckshaw Primary School, we aim to prepare our children for their future by raising aspirations and developing resilience within a happy, safe and caring environment. We strongly believe in: 

• Identifying, at an early age, individuals who require additional support. 
• Enabling each pupil to reach their full potential, with both curricular and extra-curricular activities. 
• Enabling each pupil to partake in and contribute fully to school life. 
• Endeavouring to meet the individual needs of every child.
• Developing a feeling of self-esteem within each individual child.  
• Fostering an atmosphere in our school which will promote a happy, sensitive and secure environment to ensure the most effective learning for all children. 
• Providing for children’s individual needs by supporting them in various ways: whole class, small groups and individually. 
• Monitoring closely those with SEND by review and assessment, to enable us to recognise, celebrate and record achievements.
• Providing access to and progression within the curriculum, or ensuring personalised outcomes are catered for accordingly. 
• Working with parents and other agencies to provide support and opportunities for those children with SEND. 
• Using a variety of teaching strategies, which include different learning styles, to facilitate meaningful and effective learning for all children. 
• Assisting all staff in the delivery of Quality First Teaching. 
• Ensuring access to a range of resources to support staff in their teaching of children with SEND, accessible within the classroom for promotion of inclusivity. 
• Including the voice of the child and parents/carers in monitoring and reviewing IEPs and EHCPs.
