Specialist SEND Teacher

Our SENCO leader is Mrs Gemma Martin. Our vision for our pupils is to have no glass ceiling; we are committed to providing all children with a high-quality education. We identify SEND needs early and tailor support to cater for any specific needs. Our aims are: · To help children overcome additional barriers to learning that they may face · To help children develop their thinking skills, so they can learn independently and be an active participant in their learning. · To promote positive well-being through teaching skills in emotional regulation, social interaction and self-care. · To ensure a safe, secure, caring environment. · To develop effective communication and social skills so all children meet their full potential. · To ensure the children feel part of a school community. We already run a successful nurture unit called the Den which supports a variety of children on a daily basis.

The Florence Nightingale Primary Academy provides pupils with a wonderful journey in their education through the curriculum, personal development programme, pupil experiences and the vast range of opportunities that we are able to provide and our high-quality teachers and staff. Whilst being a larger than average primary school, we are still able to retain a family feel, to nurture our pupils through their schooling and ensure that they leave us with the skills and qualifications necessary to continue their journey of life-long learning. Further information about our school can be found on our website https://theflorence.academy White Hills Park Trust comprises nine successful schools across Nottinghamshire, six primary, two secondary (one including a sixth form) and one special school.
