At Intack Primary School we believe that all our children have an equal right of access to a broad and balanced curriculum. Our priority is for all children to achieve educational success and reach their full potential in all areas. All children within the school are valued for their individual contributions. We use our best endeavours to meet each child's needs, make reasonable adjustments where required and enable children and their families to participate fully in school life.
SEND can be defined as having a need which is extra or different to what would be expected and the support required goes beyond what would usually be offered as part of classroom good practice. These special needs can be “long-term” or “short-term”. A register of SEND is kept by the SENDCo and is regularly updated to ensure the accurate monitoring of need within the school. The education of a child is a partnership between the child, parents/carers, school, and where necessary, specialist services which support a child with Special Educational Needs.

Support for Parents and Carers
As a school, we recognise that there can be times when it can be challenging to be a parent/carer. We aim to support our families as much as we can and can offer direction to other services who are better placed to advise on difficulties encountered in the home. We will endeavour to give the best advice and offer a listening ear, sometimes it's just good to talk. If you feel that you need extra support from external services, please contact the school office on 01254 52815 and ask to speak to the Family Support Manager or the SENDCo.
