At Causeway Green Primary School we pride ourselves on being a happy and inclusive school. All teachers are teachers of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, who recognise that our pupils are entitled to a good quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their full potential. We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning and raising aspirations. All our teachers are trained to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and recognise that every child deserves high-quality provision to help them achieve their full potential. We believe in early identification of need, implementing positive interventions, removing barriers to learning, strong parent partnerships and raising aspirations and achievement levels. We also emphasise collaboration with other agencies to ensure a positive educational experience for all our students, including those with SEND.
This SEND Information Report should be read alongside the school’s SEND Policy, Equalities Information and Objectives, Whole-School Provision Map, SEND procedures flowchart, and Accessibility Plan.
The guides published below are designed for our staff and classroom practitioners to reflect on and enhance their teaching practices for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). They can be utilised by our SEND team, individual teachers, subject or phase teams, or incorporated into our whole school development strategy. The guides can be used by any classroom practitioner to reflect on and refine their pedagogy for pupils with SEND.
We believe that children achieve their very best when the adults in their lives work together. A strong partnership between school and home is one of the most powerful influences on a child’s learning, well-being, and long-term success. Whatever a child’s starting point, shared expectations and consistent support help them to thrive.
Schools' white paper, SEND reform, and consultation DFE resources

At Causeway, we are always happy to help in any way we can. Working together means keeping open communication, offering guidance whenever it is needed, and ensuring that every adult involved in a child’s life feels supported. Below are some documents that may help the adults at home to further support their child’s learning, development, and well-being. Some of these documents also provide information about external organisations that can offer additional support, as well as guidance and resources from the local authority.
