At Alexandra Primary School, we believe that an inclusive environment is one where all children are enabled to achieve their potential, and individual personalities and talents are respected and nurtured. We are committed to establishing lifelong learning: rooted in knowledge, enriched by experience for all children including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our desire for meaningful inclusion is evident across all areas of our school life and embedded in our school values. 

● Nurture: Our school rules, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, support the staff and children in creating an environment where all children can live out their right to learn, have a voice and be safe. 

● Excellence: Our teaching principles have at their foundation excellent personalised classroom teaching, known as Quality First Teaching, which supports all children, including those with a special educational need or with English as an additional language, to learn and retain knowledge. 

● Exploration: The sequential and progressive nature of the Alexandra curriculum sets out clear next steps for all children regardless of their starting point. Careful consideration has been given to representing our diverse community across all subjects. 

● Community: We believe in the importance of acknowledging and accepting the difference in each child. Our entire community, including staff, parents and carers, and children, benefits from the positive culture of achievement, kindness, inclusivity and belonging.

If you have concerns about your child’s progress or would like to discuss whether your child may need additional support, please contact your child’s class teacher or the school SENCO on senco@alexandra.school.
