Our SEND Vision:

At Oxclose Primary Academy, we value inclusivity and believe that all pupils have the right to an education where they can achieve. 

We are a mainstream, inclusive school, with an Additionally Resourced Provision (ARP) for pupils with physical and/or medical needs. We are passionate about ensuring all children reach their potential in all areas of school life.  During our most recent Ofsted visit they identified that ‘The school has a specially resourced provision for pupils with physical and/or medical needs (specially resourced provision). These pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are a valued and well integrated part of the school community’.

Our school was inspected by Ofsted in April 2022 and they recognised that pupils with additional needs are fully integrated into school life and build good relationships whilst preparing them for the future, ‘All pupils, including pupils with significant physical needs, play together happily. They are kind to each other’. 

‘Leaders use the personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum to provide pupils with a ‘toolkit’ that will prepare them for life. Pupils learn about a wide range of topics, including healthy relationships and online safety in a carefully planned manner. Staff make sure that pupils with SEND understand these important messages’.

'All pupils, including pupils with significant additional needs, are taught phonics to give them the best start for life'.
