At Fairoak Primary, we are committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where all pupils can thrive. We follow the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 and the ALN Code for Wales 2021.

We aim to:

• Identify pupils with ALN early and provide the right support.
• Ensure every child has access to a broad and balanced curriculum.
• Involve children and families in all decisions about support.
• Provide tailored Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for children with additional Learning needs.
• Work with professionals such as Specialist Teachers, Educational Psychologists and Speech Therapists to offer high-quality provision.

Our ALN Co-ordinator (ALNCo), Mrs J Reynolds, leads the support across the school. We ensure smooth transitions for pupils with ALN both within school and when moving to secondary school.

If you think your child may have ALN, we welcome open discussions and will assess their needs in partnership with you.

There are also a wide range of free downloadable resources that have been developed with neurodivergent people, parents/carers and professionals from across Wales.

 

Being a parent of a child or young person who has a disability, or additional needs (diagnosed or undiagnosed) comes with unique challenges. Finding advice and support that is right for you and your family can be difficult.

The link below can help you find the information and support you need if you are a parent of a child or young person who:

• does not have a diagnosis but you think they may need extra support,
• is getting an assessment for a disability or additional need, or
• has been diagnosed with a disability or an additional need.
