Rolleston Primary School is committed to inclusion. The school aims to provide an appropriate and high quality education for all children living in our local communities. We believe that all children have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum. This will be readily accessible to them and they will be fully included in all aspects of school life.
We believe that inclusion is essential in ensuring the equality of opportunity for all learners whatever their age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, attainment and background. This demonstrates our commitment to valuing the diversity of the school community.
It is accepted that many children will experience some form of difficulty at some time in their education. At Rolleston Primary School, we aim to match the children's needs with appropriate support. Help may be given in a variety of ways, ranging from high quality whole class teaching, intensive small group work or one to one support. All children requiring support which is additional to or different from that which is normally provided, have their needs recorded and their progress monitored.
The school works closely with the Local Authority and other agencies to help ensure the needs of all pupils are met.

Our governor with responsibility for SEN is Mrs Karen Lambert.
