Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

Our SEN Information Report – which is part of Durham County Council’s Local Offer – provides details about how we support children and young people with Special Educational Needs in our school.

​

The SEN Information Report was reviewed and updated on November 2021.

​

At Annfield Plain Junior School we are a caring school where each child receives a high standard of education that is broad, challenging and full of opportunities to excite and motivate them in their learning.

​

We want children to embrace challenge, value achievement and strive to be the best they can be. At the heart of our vision is that we are a Rights Respecting school. We encourage all pupils to actively understand their rights and responsibilities within our school community and their local community.

​

Our school community believes that everyone has the right to achieve their full potential: socially, emotionally and academically. Therefore, we will work in partnership with our community to provide a safe, stimulating and challenging learning environment. The provision of quality learning and teaching is at the heart of our vision.

​

This SEND Information Report should be read alongside the school’s SEND Policy, the Equalities Information and Objectives and the Accessibility Plan.
