At Knowle Park Primary School we recognise that our pupils have a variety of needs and aspirations. We are committed to the inclusion of all pupils in a broad and balanced curriculum which is made accessible through differentiated activities.
Some children and young people who have a Special Education Need may have a disability under the Equality Act 2010 – that is ‘…a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.’

Intent
At Knowle Park we believe that all children should be taught and supported to become inquisitive, resilient, lifelong learners who are motivated, independent and able to achieve their personal best. We believe every teacher is a teacher of SEND who sets high expectations, regardless of the child’s background while being an approachable, inspirational role model who creates safe nurturing environments.
To ensure that all pupils have access to a broad and balanced curriculum, at Knowle Park we aim:
At Knowle Park we consider SEMH support as a key part of our provision, providing a range of tailored responses to meet children’s individual needs.

We look at each child’s needs and draw up a detailed transition plan to new classes, new Key Stages and secondary school. We take special care in the transition from nursery to EYFS.
We make sure there are no barriers preventing our SEND learners enjoying the same activities as other pupils in our school. All of our extra-curricular activities and school visits are available to all our pupils, including our before and after-school clubs. At Knowle Park our Amazing Acorns class provides for children with a high level of needs with high staff ratios. It provides a personalised curriculum. When the school receives an application from a new a child with a disability, a meeting is arranged with the parents and other professionals who are involved in their care.
At Knowle Park our SEMH support includes:
