At St Nicholas CE Primary School, we believe that every child is wonderfully made, uniquely gifted, and deserving of an education that enables them to flourish. Rooted in our Christian vision, “Let everything you do be done with love” (1 Corinthians 16:14), our strategic vision for SEND is built on compassion, high expectations, and a deep commitment to inclusion.

As a small rural primary school at the heart of the Porton community, we know every child and family personally. This allows us to tailor support with precision, respond swiftly to emerging needs, and create a nurturing environment where all pupils feel known, valued, and understood.

The Local Authority's Local Offer

• The Children and Families Bill became law in June 2014. From this date, Local Authorities and schools are required to publish and keep under review information about services they expect to be available for the children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) aged 0-25. This is the ‘Local Offer’.
   
• The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. It will also be an important resource for parents in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area. The Wiltshire local offer can be found on the website:
