Eggbuckland Vale Primary School

We believe all children deserve the very best possible start, and we aim to enrich the lives of all our pupils.

We are very proud to have an inclusive ethos at our school, and all our staff are trained to encourage children's development by using a consistent and nurturing approach.

All pupils in our school receive high-quality teaching; a range of teaching and learning styles are used, and appropriate learning objectives are set for all children, matched to their individual needs.

Within each year group, classes are supported by highly skilled teaching assistants who support small groups or individuals in their learning. They also deliver a range of intervention programmes to support children's development in specific areas of learning.

At our school, we recognise children's emotional and social well-being is key to being successful learners; our school provides trained staff in a variety of roles to support children in developing these skills. Trauma-informed practice and the 'Thrive Approach' are embedded in our daily practice, ensuring the best possible support for the children at our school.

All of our support staff (including breakfast, after-school club staff, and mealtime assistants) know our children extremely well and follow the same consistent, nurturing approach to support children's needs and maintain consistency for them throughout the school day.

Parents of children at our school are a key part of our school community; we ensure that they have various opportunities to be involved in supporting their children's progress, especially parents of children with SEND. Their progress is monitored; specific targets and goals are set and then regularly reviewed.

All our staff know that excellent care, guidance, and support contribute significantly to pupils' personal development, help all children feel safe and secure, and provide them with the opportunity to make the best possible academic and personal progress.
