At Parklands Infant and Nursery we are committed to equality and inclusion regardless of ability. In accordance with the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Policy, children with special educational needs or disabilities are included in all lessons. Class Teachers are expected to ensure that appropriate support or adaptions are in place where needed in order for every pupil to access the learning and in accordance with support plans or Educational Health and Care plans. In RE, support/adaptions could include:

• Providing additional support materials e.g. visual aids such as photographs, Makaton symbols, PECS, coloured paper, ICT, concrete resources.

• Additional adult support for children that require extra support in lessons.

• Modifying tasks (e.g. working on the same learning objective but with an alternative way of recording the information such as using the iPad to record the children verbally).

• Ensuring that activities and trips are accessible for specific needs.

• Breaking down tasks into small steps, giving children achievable goals.

At Parklands we believe children with special educational needs or disabilities must be given every chance to demonstrate their knowledge in order to reach their full potential in RE. Please see our SEND policy for more information about how Parklands can support children with Special Educational Needs and disabilities.
