Operation Encompass
We are an Operation Encompass school. What this means is that if police attend a domestic abuse or domestic violence situation they will inform the school so we can support the child the next day in our setting. For more information on Operation Encompass click on the link below.
Special Educational Needs And/Or Disabilities (SEND)
At Market Rasen Church of England Primary School we are used to supporting children with a wide range of Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. If you would like to speak to our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator about your child please contact Mrs Jessica Hardiment. (jessica.hardiment@marketrasen.lincs.sch.uk)
Pupils with Special Needs usually follow the same curriculum as everyone else however adaptions are sometimes made to enable them to make excellent proogress from their starting point. These adaptations may be adult support, pre learning, over learning, precision teaching, different recording methods or intervention.
When children access intervention, on rare occasions, this may take them away from other learning. The statement below outlines our rationale for this.
SEND Pupils Full Access To The Curriculum Statement
We have prepared a document called the SEND Information Report (formally called the Local Offer) which will give you a lot of information about what you should do if you feel your child has any form of special needs.
Please click here for SEND Policies and the SEND Information Report
Information about the changes to SEND made in September 2014 can be found by following the link below.
