Type of support/Provision provided by Wyndham Primary School:

 

  • Wyndham provides excellent pastoral care for all pupils and support from our Family Support Officer.  
  • All staff provide clear expectations and is based on encouraging pupils to make positive decisions about behavioural choices. 
  • Our behaviour policy identifies where reasonable adjustments or changes can be made to support children with specific needs, this ensures the need for exclusions are kept to a minimum.  
  • We use risk assessments and take action to ensure the safety and inclusion of all pupils in all activities.  
  • We have a school counsellor who works with specific children one day a week.  
  • We have a family support worker who works with children and families and can signpost to external avenues of support. 
  • We use small-group or 1:1 targeted support to improve social skills, self esteem and emotional resilience.  
  • 'Zones of Regulation' is used to support children learning about their emotions and how to self-regulate.  
  • Breakout spaces are available for children who need time to regulate outside of the classroom.  
  • Residential trips which help to develop social, emotional and behavioural resilience and promote independence. 
  • We provide support and appropriate access arrangements for statutory assessments. 
  • We seek support from outside agencies such as Children and Young People’s Service (CYPS), SEMH specialists and Educational Psychologist.  
  • Please see our Anti-bullying Policy and Behaviour Policy for further information.
