We aim to accommodate and meet the needs of all children. Our aim is to develop an inclusive education system which positively encourages young people and fulfils the potential of every child and person within the Norton Free community. 

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities 

The school works with the LA and within the requirements of the Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs, to include within the normal admission arrangements any child who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a pupil's ability to carry out normal day to day activities. 

The law requires all children to have access to a broad and balanced curriculum which includes as much work as possible from the statutory orders of the National Curriculum. If a child has a special educational need and has a learning difficulty, it is our aim to offer to meet individual needs to promote successful learning. Children with outstanding ability similarly need to be identified and helped to develop.
