Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Inclusion
Percy Main Primary School is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where all students, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, can thrive and reach their full potential.
We will endeavour to use our resources to provide appropriate support to children with SEND, thus enabling all children to obtain maximum benefit from the full school curriculum.
If you have questions or concerns about your child, or you are a young person with questions, you can find out further information about the support and pathways available through the following link:
We support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities guided by the North Tyneside local offer.
