Sandie Gordon
Inclusion Lead & SENDCo
At Floreat we believe that every child is entitled to an inclusive broad and balanced curriculum. We are ambitious for all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, to reach their full potential. Therefore, the staff community at Floreat aim to create a caring, friendly and nurturing environment where all children thrive socially, personally and academically.
To further our nurturing environment we have created a nurture room as a space away from the classroom to support those that are having social, emotional and behavioural challenges. This room gives the children support and tools to equip them to cope in the situations that are challenging them.
SEND
Special Education Needs or Disabilities (SEND) is a term used to describe children who have additional needs in one of the following 4 broad areas of their development:
- Communication and interaction
- Cognition and learning
- Social and emotional health
- Sensory and/or physical difficulties
The class teacher meets regularly with parents to ensure they are informed of the progress and next steps in development for their child. The SENDCo is available to discuss your child throughout the school day and advise or signpost for extra support and guidance from outside agencies. The SENDCo is also available to meet with parents and teachers if further discussions are needed.
We ensure that the SEN policy works within the guidelines and inclusion policies of the Code of Practice (2015), the Local Education Authority and other policies within the school. Both the Governing Body and teaching staff are informed of these policies and do their best to make sure the teaching and the environment is inclusive for all.

Zones of Regulation
At Floreat Montague Park Primary School, we recognise the importance of promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing to our children and their families. We aim to create an open culture around the discussion of mental health and wellbeing and to empower our children to be able to regulate their emotions. By implementing the Zones of Regulations, we aim to teach our children to identify emotions in themselves and others, and provide them with bank of strategies to help regulate their emotions and improve their wellbeing.
