Special Educational Needs, Disability and Equality

Our school is proud to provide an excellent, inclusive education that develops the whole child.  We embrace, respect and value our community and its heritage. Our aim is to prepare ambitious learners who are ready to progress into the wider world. 

“Pupils are inspired by interesting and captivating lessons. Staff believe in every pupil. Pupils achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.” Ofsted 2021 

At St George’s we provide all pupils with access to a broad and balanced curriculum. We are committed to making sure all our pupils have the chance to thrive and support them to reach their full potential. We are focused on creating an inclusive environment, where provision is tailored to the needs and abilities of pupils, no matter how varied. We offer our children a safe and happy environment where they are inspired to take brave steps in their learning.  We enable them to grow in confidence and we provide them with the belief to achieve their potential.
