Inclusion

We pride ourselves on being an incredibly supportive, inclusive school and welcome all children to join us at Dane Bank. We work closely with our families and external agencies to ensure we give the most support possible to our children in order to enable them to make the best possible progress and be happy and settled both in and out of school. 

We were so proud to receive our most recent Ofsted report that identified real strengths in our approach to inclusion,

"Pupils consistently meet or exceed the high expectations that the school sets for their achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), take pride in their learning and progress."

"The school carefully tailors its clubs to suit the needs and interests of all pupils, including those with SEND, and those in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision). This helps to develop pupils’ wider talents and interests beyond the academic curriculum."

"From the early years to Year 6, the school has designed a seamless curriculum, rooted in what it wants pupils to know and remember. This is especially true for disadvantaged pupils, those with SEND and the pupils in the specially resourced provision."

"The school has effective systems in place to identify the additional needs of pupils with SEND. Staff work collaboratively with parents and carers, and a broad range of external agencies, to secure appropriate support for pupils. Teachers are highly effective in adapting their delivery of the curriculum while enabling pupils with SEND to become independent. Pupils who attend the specially resourced provision benefit greatly from this approach. This helps them to be successful learners."
