Newnham Junior School
Special Educational Needs
At Newnham Junior School we strive to support all children to enable them to make progress and to achieve to the best of their ability.
Quality First Teaching is vital; however for some children there are occasions when further additional support may be needed to help them achieve their targets. In order to do this, many steps are taken to support pupils through their learning journey from whatever their starting point may be.
​
All schools must publish a SEND Information Report about their support and provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Please find below our SEND information report which details how Newnham Junior School identifies and supports pupils with SEND.
