Parkhead Community Primary School is committed to maintain and develop the education of all pupils.

We provide a caring, inspiring and inclusive environment where children can meet their full potential regardless of their ability, gender identity, race or religion. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all and use the National Curriculum as our starting point for planning that meets the specific needs of individuals and groups of children. When planning, teachers set suitable learning challenges and respond to children’s diverse learning needs. Some children have particular learning and assessment requirements that could create barriers to learning. 

SEN support takes the form of a four-part cycle (assess, plan, do, review). Through this cycle, actions are reviewed and refined as understanding of a student’s needs and the support required to help them secure good outcomes increases. This is known as the graduated approach.

We recognise that you know your child best and you may feel that they need some additional help or support in school. If you have any concerns, please contact your child's class teacher or our SENDCo Miss Southern at school on 0191 4335618, or via email to enquiries@parkheadprimary.org.
