Inclusion (SEND)
Inclusive Practice
At Archdeacon Cambridge’s, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do; we welcome diversity and as a Christian community, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. We believe that every child has the right to learn, thrive, and succeed within a caring and supportive environment where they feel valued and respected.
We believe in developing strong partnerships with parents and carers to ensure that all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, can thrive and achieve their potential. Through encouragement, care and understanding, our dedicated staff team strives to do the very best for every child.
We believe that by nurturing self-esteem, a growth mind-set and wellbeing, we help each pupil to grow in confidence, achieve well and develop a lifelong love of learning.
English as an Additional Language (EAL) Support
There are currently over 21 languages spoken at Archdeacon. Our community includes many families with a home language other than English.
The priority for our EAL speakers is to ensure pupils access the curriculum and continue to make progress alongside their peers. We provide targeted intervention where appropriate using a variety of resources including teaching and learning materials aimed at supporting pupils’ language development.
Where necessary we will liaise with outside agencies for additional pupil assessment and support.
