Special Educational Needs and Disability
Neurodiversity Week- Thank you to all the parents that attended the SEND Coffee Morning and to those parents who came to talk to the children.
SEND Overview
At Hermitage Primary School we ensure that all pupils are included, feel valued and are inspired.
Our pupils who have addition needs make outstanding progress due to the commitment of all the staff. Class teachers and Teaching Assistants take part in a range of professional development opportunities enabling them to provide outstanding Quality First Teaching.
We follow the Cheshire East Toolkit for SEND and Teachers work closely with the SENDCo and identify needs early through a Graduated Approach to meeting need of pupils within their class.
SEND Policy
At Hermitage Primary School we have clear procedures and policies in place to support the progress and attainment of our pupils with SEND. Our policy also supports staff to understand practices that are carried out which are set out in the SEND policy. Our SEND policy has been written in conjunction with the SEND Report.

SEND Report/Local Offer
In July 2014, the Government published the Code of Practice, which sets out the approach and provision for Special Educational Needs. As part of this every school in England and Wales had to provide a SEN School Report, which outlines what each school has to offer when considering Special Needs. At Hermitage, we follow and use Cheshire East Local Offer.
