Special Education Needs and Disability Information Report September 2025

At Aspull Church Primary School we aim to meet every child’s need to make sure that all of our children achieve to the best of their ability. Aspull Church Primary School is a mainstream school that aims to provide learning that is inclusive and accessible. We strive to ensure that all pupils with Special Educational Needs make the best possible progress in school. As parents/carers there are many questions you may have about what our school is able to do to meet your child’s need when choosing a school for your child. We aim to answer many questions about how school will contribute to the Local Authority Local Offer as possible here but should you have any other questions please contact Mrs Harper (SENCo) in school. Further detail about our provision for children with additional needs can be found in our Inclusion policy which can be found here:  Special Educational Needs and Disability Policy.
