Special Educational Needs At Kettering Park Infant Academy

At Kettering Park Infant Academy we are very proud of our inclusive ethos.  As such, our school is made up of children with a wide range of abilities, and we believe that over the years many children with SEN and/or disabilities have enjoyed their time at our school where they have thrived, made good progress and have been well-prepared for the next stage in their education.

Our aim is that children with SEND achieve their full potential just like every other child in school. This is achieved through the use of Individual Education Plans where appropriate, meetings with teachers and parents, provision of specialist resources, accessing specialist support and targeted interventions that meet a child’s individual needs.

Children with SEN and/or disabilities are fully included in all school activities including after school clubs, trips and school shows/productions.
