SEND

Fen Ditton Primary School is a welcoming, safe and inclusive school where all children are encouraged to fulfil their potential. We aim to provide an enjoyable and varied learning environment and to foster a responsible, respectful and caring attitude. We aim to develop the necessary skills to equip your child for life and encourage a love of learning that will continue after their time here.

Our own four core values are: 

• Respect
• Courage
• Resilience
• Kindness

To fulfil our vision we provide: 

• High quality teaching
• Teaching Assistants to support and encourage independence
• Support for the whole family
• Friends
• Commitment to teamwork
• Varied experiences and a wide range of opportunities

In September 2021 we opened our brand-new nurture provision called ‘The Nest’.

Some of our children with complex SEND needs find it difficult to manage successfully in their mainstream cohort for the full day and require enhanced targeted provision to meet their needs and develop their individual skills.

Our nurture provision is for children with complex SEND needs to access over the week, to support their progress and development in their mainstream cohort. We recognise that we must make specific provision for SEND pupils to ensure that all children in our community have the opportunity to develop their skills and talents.  An adapted approach to their education will promote thinking skills and nurture the whole child, socially, emotionally and intellectually. We consider the holistic needs of the child, not just their SEND, and aim to promote independence and build resilience in learning and to support them remaining in a mainstream school.
