Welcome

All children have the ability to learn and should be equally valued whether or not they have SEND. Inclusion is most likely to be achieved when their diversity is recognised and regarded positively. All staff are responsible for inclusion.

Children are entitled to receive a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum. We recognise that appropriate advice, support and resources are required to achieve this for some pupils in the mainstream curriculum.

All children and their parents/carers are entitled to be treated with respect and have their views taken into account.

 

Inclusion at Lampton - Excellence, Respect, Integrity

The aim of Inclusion at Lampton School is to consider the structure, teaching approaches, pupil grouping and use of support so that they respond to the needs of all pupils.  Special educational provision at Lampton is underpinned by high quality first teaching in the classroom.

High quality teaching that is differentiated and personalised will meet the individual needs of the majority of children and young people. A part of this personalised teaching there is a value placed on strong relationships with students – teachers are expected to build respectful and nurturing relationship to develop our pupils.

Lampton School is dedicated to providing exceptional learning experiences for all students where there are no limits to achievements.  We provide inspirational teaching and support to all pupils to become superb learners and good citizens.  This is done within a harmonious, diverse and safe environment where all members of the school community are valued and respected.
