Wellbeing and Pastoral Support

Fairfield is recognised as providing good provision for pupils with SEN or those who are more and very able across the curriculum. We have a strong team who work to ensure that all pupils’ needs are addressed. We are proactive and aim to identify needs as soon as possible in order to target early intervention and support.

Our SENCo manages the SEN teaching assistants who are deployed throughout the school to provide additional support where needed. Some are attached to pupils with a statement or Education Health Care plan while others are used to target groups of pupils who require varying degrees of additional support. We work closely with outside agencies such as speech and language, autism outreach and sight and hearing impairment units to develop learning programmes and appropriate provision for our pupils.

We ensure all staff have appropriate training when necessary to implement support packages.

The school is committed to safeguarding and prompting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
