Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information

Farne Primary School is a fully inclusive school.

At Farne we pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming and happy place to be; the motto of our school ‘Bring Out Your Brilliance’ is key at Farne. We expect excellent behaviour, kindness, and respect and good manners from our children – and in return we promise to give each and every one of our children an excellent education, within a small, caring school community. Our school is a primary academy and is part of SMART Multi Academy Trust. As a result of working with seven partner schools we are exposed to a range of approaches and we take the best practice, adapt systems and approaches to benefit the children within Farne.

Although basic skills form the core of our curriculum we believe that all children need a broad and balanced curriculum which is memorable, creative, and meaningful and engages all learners. The curriculum is broad and balanced which will enable pupils to develop spiritual, moral, social and cultural aspects of learning. All staff, pupils and governors at Farne embrace opportunities to strengthen our school community and improve outcomes for all pupils.

Farne Primary School operates its SEND provision in line with Newcastle Local Authority’s SEN and disabilities policies and procedures. To access more information in relation to this view Newcastle Local Authority’s Local Offer.
