Luston and Shobdon Community Primary Federation

SEN & Inclusion

At Luston and Shobdon Primary Schools, we pride ourselves on being inclusive schools. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum for all children and recognise that adjustments to practice and specific support may be necessary to meet individual needs.
We aim to create a learning environment which meets the needs of each child and our school team works to ensure that special educational needs are identified, assessed and appropriately met, enabling all children to have full access to all elements of our school curriculum.
As the Inclusion Lead it is my role is to organise and put in place support for pupils who require any additional support in school.  I work in Luston on Mondays and Wednesdays and I am at Shobdon on Tuesdays. If you would like to discuss any aspects of additional support your child might be receiving, or you have concerns about your child’s learning or development, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
