The head tells pupils to ‘aim for the stars, keep your feet on the ground’ – a fitting mantra for an inclusive, unpretentious school that produces well-rounded, thoughtful, interested young people – in idyllic surroundings to boot. Parents say that ‘any child would find something to enjoy’, although ‘it helps if you like sport’.

SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

At Edgeborough around 10 per cent of pupils have been identified with a specific difficulty, which ranges from dyslexia, dyscalculia, processing difficulties, ADD, a hearing or a visual impairment, or mild speech and language difficulties. The LEAP (Learning Acceleration Programme) Zone consists of five teachers who have additional teaching qualifications in specific learning difficulties and who work one-to-one with pupils. They may also support the class/ subject teacher in the classroom and take individual groups of children for targeted work. In addition the school has at least one teaching assistant supporting the teacher in the classroom from reception to year 5, depending upon where the need is greatest, who also offer small group interventions such as support in literacy and mathematics, guided reading sessions and handwriting activities. There are currently a handful of children who have English as an additional language and they are supported within the class setting.
