SEND at Fairfield Primary School
At Fairfield Primary School all teachers are teachers of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We recognise that all pupils are entitled to a quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their potential. We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning, raising expectations and levels of achievement and working in partnership with other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils including those with a special educational need or disability.
