SEND at Martham

At Martham Primary School, we strive to provide an exceptional, inclusive and inspiring education within a nurturing and forward-thinking community. Our children leave us with strong academic outcomes, confidence, and character - ready to embrace opportunities, think broadly, and contribute positively to society. We foster a culture where staff feel valued and supported, families are engaged and leadership is focused on continuous improvement. Through high expectations, rich learning experiences and strong community connections, we aim to shape lifelong learners who thrive in an ever-changing world.

Within this vision, inclusion and equity are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every child, regardless of their abilities or needs, has the right to access high-quality teaching and a broad, balanced curriculum. Our approach ensures that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are fully supported, valued and able to reach their full potential as part of our vibrant learning community.

We recognise that every child’s needs are unique, and we tailor our support to help each learner thrive. Across our school, the most common areas of identified need fall within communication and interaction and cognition and learning, with a smaller number of pupils requiring support for social, emotional, and mental health or physical and medical needs.

These patterns help us plan staff training, allocate resources, and design interventions that are responsive to our pupils’ strengths and challenges. Our inclusive ethos ensures that all children — whatever their area of need — are supported to make progress, build confidence, and enjoy learning every day.
