Middleton Cheney Community Primary School

Middleton Cheney Primary School aims to be a learning community for children aged 4-11yrs which strives to:-

Enrich children’s lives with a life-long enthusiasm for learning.

Encourage children to value their role as participating members of the school, village and local communities and prepare them for life in our rich and complex society.  We also aim to foster an understanding of, and respect for, the environment.

Empower children to take a proactive role in their futures by equipping them with skills, knowledge and understanding to explore the margins of their potential.

We aim to meet these aims through:-

A safe and stimulating environment where success is celebrated and where children feel confident to explore, take risks in their learning and gain from their experiences.

The encouragement of qualities such as creativity, curiosity and enjoyment.

The development of social skills and promotion of values such as fairness, tolerance and responsibility.

A broad and balanced curriculum that meets National and County expectations whilst providing opportunity to explore the richness of human experience beyond these.

Policies that ensure consistency and equality of opportunity for all members regardless of age, sex, colour, religion or disability.

A high quality team who seek to work in partnership with parents and supporting members of the wider community.

The necessary quality physical resources.

 We place great importance on identifying children who have special educational needs and on providing appropriate teaching for them.

Where the teacher’s assessment of a child’s achievements shows that he or she is finding particular difficulty in acquiring basic skills in literacy or numeracy, parents will be informed and an individual programme drawn up for the child.  Progress towards the targets identified in the programme will be reviewed after six or eight weeks and new targets set.  Class teachers are supported in this by a member of staff with additional training as a special needs co-ordinator.

If the child continues to experience great difficulty, advice will be sought from the local authority’s support services, and in some cases the authority may decide to issue a statement of special educational needs for the child, and fund additional support.  Parents are consulted at every stage.
