Penwortham Priory Academy

All pupils at Priory are equally valued and empowered to voice and affect decisions made, with the right to learn, achieve and participate fully in education by having access to a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum. Some pupils, during the course of their time in an educational setting, may have special educational needs, the school will strive to meet these needs as fully as possible. We aim to create an environment in which pupils' needs are identified, assessed, met and received in line with the Revised Code of Practice (2001) and more recent government initiatives. It is our aim to ensure that all pupils have an equal right to realise their potential socially, physically and intellectually and have full access to the National Curriculum. We aim to identify as quickly as possible those children who have special educational needs at either end of the spectrum and to give appropriate support in terms of curriculum planning, support and resources. To meet a child's needs we recognise the importance and encourage the active involvement and support of parents.
