Sutton Valence Primary School is a fully inclusive school and all children are included regardless of their needs. Our committed, supportive and caring community work hard to ensure a whole school ethos of inclusion where:
- All children are actively involved in all activities throughout the day.
- Time out of the class away from peers is minimised.
- Teaching strategies and resources are adapted to ensure equal accessibility to all.
- Discrete adult support is given to promote independent learning, appropriate socialisation and to avoid learnt dependency.
- Opportunities are continually explored for all children to grow in confidence, have a voice and shine.
At Sutton Valence we know that all children learn in different ways so we use different teaching styles, resources and plan different levels of work, along with a range of other approaches. We call this Quality First Teaching.
Our SEND policy and Information document explains our inclusive practice in full.
The admission criteria ranking for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities is as follows:
1. Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care
2. Children with Education Health Care Plan
3. Current family association (sibling)
4. Health, Social and Special Access reasons
5. Nearness of children‟s homes to schools

Resources for pupils from DfEE re hand washing and respiratory hygiene
Posted: Apr 29, 2020 by: Angela George (ageorge) on: Mrs George's Blog
Good morning everyone
I thought I would share some resources that are on the DfEE website about hand washing and respiratory care. The information and resources may just help your child understand a little more about why we have to follow the routines we are doing with regard to hand washing.
The DFEE states: "e-Bug is a project led by Public Health England. It has a dedicated webpage for learning resources on hand washing and respiratory hygiene".
You can access them at http://e-bug.eu/
