Inclusion (SEND)

Inclusive Practice

Archdeacon Cambridge’s is an inclusive school; we welcome diversity and, as a Christian community, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. We believe in developing a strong partnership with parents/carers and believe that this partnership will enable children and young people with SEND to achieve their potential.

Parents/carers have a unique overview of their child's needs and how best to support them. They hold key information and have a critical role to play in their child's education. Our staff believe that having high self-esteem is crucial to a child’s emotional well-being and academic progress. We have a caring, understanding team who look after and strive to do the best for all our children.

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.
