  • To tackle prejudice and promote understanding in relation to people with disabilities
  • To ensure that all pupils are given similar opportunities with regards to after-school clubs and activities
  • To allow equal access to information for all parents
  • To ensure the school environment is accessible as possible to all pupils, staff and visitors.

These objectives are reflected in our equality information and objectives, our equality policy and our accessibility plan and other school policies related to teaching and learning.

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY

At Wonersh and Shamley Green Church of England Primary School, we are committed to offering an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all of our pupils whatever their needs or abilities.

Central to our SEND work is the core belief that every teacher is a teacher of every pupil, including those with special educational needs.

At Wonersh and Shamley Green Primary School we want each child to achieve his/her best, to become confident individuals living fulfilling lives and to make a successful transition into their next school.
