Equality
At Green Lane Infant School, we treat everyone Equally and Fairly regardless of
• Age

Equality of opportunity underpins the school curriculum and the work in school. We believe all pupils have an equal right to develop and achieve their potential.
Looked After Children
Provision for looked after children is managed within school with careful liaison with the Virtual School Service.
Outcomes for their provision are linked to outcomes on their Pupil Profile (PP) and this is funded through the use of pupil premium expenditure.
Meet the Inclusion Lead
My name is Mrs Niki Shaw, I am the Inclusion Lead and Designated Lead for Looked After Children. My responsibilities include co-ordinating the care and education of the children with Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND). This mainly involves children that have difficulties with learning and /or behaviour and sometimes medical needs. I work closely with the outside agencies when a referral has been made, this includes the local authority’s Special Needs & Disability Service, Medical Practitioners (hearing, speech and language therapy, paediatricians) and the Psychology Service. I liaise with each class teacher about the pupils in their class and discuss any concerns arising regarding a child.
We have recently developed a room in our school that has been designed to meet the needs of our SEN children, this includes block play, role play, sand and water to mention a few.
