• Provision for Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

St Matthew's is an inclusive school and we are committed to providing high-quality education to all our pupils. In accordance with the SEND Code of Practice, we aim to identify early those children who have Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), in order to plan and implement effective support to help them make good progress. 

Each child in the school is unique and teachers plan their lessons to cater for all the abilities and needs within the classroom. The majority of our pupils with SEND are taught in mainstream classes with differentiated learning tasks, as appropriate. The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator and specialists from other agencies also provide support for the children.

At St Matthew's Primary School we also have a Special Needs Support Centre for Reception, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two children with ASD. Places for this are allocated by Surrey County Council Special Educational Needs.

We are proud of the high level of success we have in enabling children to overcome challenges, make progress and achieve their personal targets. Progress is seen in their academic achievements and also in their development of life skills, confidence and independence.

We work closely with parents of all children based on trust, understanding and open communication.

We have a wide range of extra-curricular activities including clubs, outings and residential trips at St Matthew’s Primary School. We encourage every child to participate. Some children may require additional support, but our aim is to ensure, where possible, that every child is included.
