Jeavons Primary School aims to provide an inclusive, happy, stimulating and challenging environment where everyone’s potential is valued, enabling them to become confident members of the wider community with respect for themselves and others. Abby Constable is our Assistant Head for Inclusion and SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-Ordinator). Mrs Constable works Monday-Thursday. She can be contacted via the office office@jeavonswood.org .
We are committed to providing equal opportunities, inclusive, high quality education and care for all children in school, so that they can reach their full potential. We strive to eliminate prejudice and discrimination and develop an environment where all children flourish and feel safe. This includes those children who are questioning their identity and sexuality.
This report, which can be downloaded from the panel on this page, outlines how Jeavons Wood Primary School supports children with SEND.
To access Cambridgeshire’s SEND information Hub, (previously known as The Local Offer) please click here. This will show you what support is available in Cambridgeshire for parents or carers of children with a Special Educational Need or Disability.
The SEND Code of Practice (2015) sets out how schools must identify, assess, and support children with SEND. It introduced several key expectations, including:
- A graduated approach to identifying and supporting needs
- High‑quality teaching as the foundation for all SEND support
- Regular monitoring and review of pupil progress
- Clear communication with parents and carers
- Annual reporting on how the school identifies and supports pupils with SEND
We follow the Code of Practice closely and ensure that our provision reflects national guidance and best practice.
For students with medical needs, we follow Cambridgeshire County Council and Government guidelines, details of which are available here.
