Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

Creating an inclusive learning environment

At Howard Community Academy we pride ourselves on working together to create an inclusive learning environment for all our children to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed and thrive.

We pride ourselves on recognising children as individuals and so we are creative in our approach to supporting them whilst keeping their voice, aspirations and wishes at the heart of their support.

Our staff receive high quality information and bespoke training needed to support our children, and they then make it their priority to implement this in the classroom.

We aim to quickly identify pupils who are making limited progress and provide targeted interventions and support to meet their needs and close gaps. We provide you as parents/carers with information about our SEND processes and procedures, as well as ensure you are informed of your child’s learning at regular points throughout the year. We work alongside the Local Authority and Health Professionals to find the most appropriate and effective support for pupils within our care. More information about local support for you and your child can be obtained from the Suffolk Local Offer page.

The following documents will give you more information in relation to SEND and how school and home can work together to support our children.  If you have any questions relating to your child, please speak to their class teacher initially.  However, if you would like to arrange a phone call or meeting with our SENDCo following discussions with the class teacher, please contact the school office on 01284 766278 to book an appointment or email office@howardprimary.org.
