Leyland St James' CE Primary School provides all its children with the opportunity and support to develop their full potential through a rich, broad and balanced education and through experiencing the love and security of belonging to a caring Christian community.
We aim to enable all pupils with special education needs and disabilities to be fully involved in the life of the school, and to reach their full potential, taking an active role in school life, feeling secure, and happy whilst experiencing success in a stimulating, caring and Christian learning environment.
Leyland St James' CE Primary School and Nursery is supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils with Special Educational Needs, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school.
In line with our mission statement all the staff aim:
- To promote children’s development by catering for their social, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual and moral development.
- To provide a broad and balanced curriculum having regard to the requirements of the National Curriculum.
- To be aware of the needs of individual children, of their differing ages and abilities, and plan work accordingly.
- To provide equal opportunities regardless of sex, race or culture.
- To create a secure, attractive and happy environment, where children are respected as individuals and where pupils are encouraged to respect others and their environment.
- To promote links with the community, with outside agencies, industry, local people and neighbouring schools.
- To encourage parental involvement in the educational process and to offer opportunities for parents to become involved in the life of the school.
- We recognise that every teacher is a teacher of every child or person including those with SEN.
The SEND Local Offer was created to help improve the lives of children with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), as well as their families and those who care for them. The education sector plays an important role in the Offer, as it affects all children and young people from birth to 25 years old.
Families are directed to the Local Offer on the Lancashire’s SEND local Offer website www.lancashire.gov.uk/send which outlines how the school caters for pupils with SEND.
