SEND and Medical Needs

SEND at Gatehouse

At Gatehouse Primary Academy, we welcome everybody into our community. The staff, governors, pupils and parents all work together to make Gatehouse Primary Academy a happy, welcoming place where children and adults can achieve their full potential and develop as confident individuals. This means that equality of opportunity must be a reality for our children. We make this a reality through the attention we pay to different groups of children within our school community, thus providing a learning environment that enables all pupils to make the greatest possible progress and achieve their full potential in a caring, supportive and fully inclusive environment.

Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision allows pupils with learning difficulties the opportunity to follow a curriculum specifically tailored to develop life skills and to give pupils self-confidence through their learning, thus enabling them to maximise their potential and to work independently. We are committed to narrowing the attainment gap between SEND and non-SEND pupils through a personalised learning system.

All children and young people are entitled to an education that enables them to make progress so that they can achieve their best, become confident individuals living fulfilling lives and make a successful transition in to adulthood.

If your child has special educational needs and/or a disability and you would like to know more about what we offer at Gatehouse Primary Academy please contact us. Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator is Abbie Naylor, who you can reach by contacting the school on 01626 862605, or by emailing sendsupport@gatehouse.devon.sch.uk.

Above is our SEND Information Report for the Academic Year 2021-2022 and a link to the SEND Local Offer. Here you will find all of the information about how we support the needs of our pupils with SEND at Gatehouse, and the support available from the Local Authority. 

Above you will find a link to our Accessibility Plan for the Academic Year 2020-2021. 

This plan aims to support our pupils with disabilities being able to participate in the school curriculum, improve the school environment and improve the accessibility of information. 

Please can we request that latex is not brought on to our school as we have a member of our school community who has a severe reaction.

Many thanks for your support and understanding.
