Specialised Provision
We are committed to inclusion and all stakeholders have a shared vision and responsibility.
At Langton Green Primary School we endeavour to make every effort to achieve maximum inclusion for all pupils whilst meeting their individual needs. We aim to engender a sense of community and belonging, and to offer new opportunities for learners who may have experienced previous difficulties. This does not mean that we will treat all learners in the same way, but that we will respond to learners in ways which take account of their varied life experiences and needs as we believe that every child has a right to ‘be the best they can be’.
We use a range of specialised provision strategies to support pupils with Special Educational Needs, as well as our high-attaining pupils.
Special Education Needs (SEN) Provision
We are committed to inclusion. We endeavour to make every effort to achieve maximum inclusion of all pupils whilst meeting their individual needs as learners.
What do we mean by Special Educational Needs?
Children have Special Educational Needs if they have a learning difficulty that calls for special educational provision to be made for them. They may have:
- a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age;
- a disability that presents them from making full use of the educational facilities provided for children of the same school age.
They may have difficulty with one or more of the following:
-
Communication and Interaction
-
Cognition and Learning
-
Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties
-
Physical and/or Sensory Needs
We know that children learn and develop in different ways so we use different teaching styles, resources and plan different levels of work, along with many other approaches. This is called Quality First Teaching.

High-Attaining Pupils
Provision for High Attaining Pupils at Langton Green School
We believe in the encouragement of excellence for all by fostering a stimulating and creative learning climate, enabling children to reach their full potential within the context of this school. When considering the full range of abilities within the classroom, we recognise that some children will show exceptional ability or potential.
We also recognise that not all children will be very able in all subjects, but may have a talent in one area. We are also alert to the need to access a wide range of intelligences when identifying those high attaining children. We aim to provide challenge for our students, and an inspiring education that skills them for life.
