Beddington Infants’ school has historically had outstanding outcomes for the children who have attended the school. All stakeholders are constantly evaluating the provision to provide for the children additional opportunities to develop the whole child. This school is committed to Inclusion.
“We are all different, which is great because we are all unique. Without diversity life would be very boring.”

We support all children to leave Beddington Infants’ School with the Seven Gifts and know that Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) should not be a barrier to achieving this.
The Governing Body and staff of Beddington Infants’ School recognise that we all have a responsibility to ensure the additional needs and disabilities of all children are met.
We aim to identify and assess children with SEND as early as possible, and to use our own resources and the services of outside agencies as appropriate to effectively support children’s recognised needs.
The following is Beddington Infants’ Schools approach to identifying children with SEND.
Assess
To assess; a clear analysis of the child’s needs is carried out at school by the class teacher with support from the Special Educational Needs & Disability Coordinator (SENDCo), taking into account any concerns raised by parents and carers. This is reviewed regularly and includes input from any professionals who work with the child and school.
Plan
If it is assessed as appropriate to provide SEN Support, we will plan the support and interventions the child needs based on the assessment. We make sure that parents and carers are fully aware of the planned support and interventions.
Do and review
We then do the planned support and interventions, reviewing the effectiveness of them and the impact on the child’s progress. We also seek the views of the child and his/her parents and carers. Any changes to the plan following the review are then made in consultation with the pupil and parent.
