Inclusion/Special Educational Needs & Disability

iqm-flagship-gold

At Marlfields Primary Academy we believe that all children have the right to be included in all aspects of school life. As such we strive to enrich the lives of the children in our school by promoting and celebrating community cohesion as well as valuing the individual. We tailor our curriculum to encourage life long learning, real life skills and equality for all learners. As such the school is recognised as being a Flagship School for Inclusion. Please take time to read our current 2022 IQM assessment report.

Special Educational Needs & Disability

Marlfields Primary Academy is one of only a few schools recognised by the Inclusion Quality Mark organisation in London as one of ‘Flagship Status’.  This recognises how the school works with a number of different support agencies in line with the SEND requirements to be a totally ‘INCLUSIVE’ school where all children are valued as individuals.

We work closely with Cheshire East Local Authority with regard to their ‘Local Offer’ and have detailed below our school’s offer for SEND pupils and their parents.

We have also been recognised with a number of awards as shown on the webpage.  All of these awards show how the school strives for excellence and is forward thinking in how to constantly give our pupils new and innovative opportunities for learning.

However this is just a flavour of what we are about and we would strongly urge you to arrange a visit to the school so that we can meet and talk through your own child’s personal requirements.  We look forward to seeing you soon.

The act became statutory from September 2014 giving some of the biggest changes to Special Educational Needs for many years.

The Cheshire East Information, Advice and Support (CEIAS) Team offer confidential support and information to children and young people with SEND, their parents or carers.
