SEND at Kingsfield Primary School
At Kingsfield Primary School, we take great pride in being an inclusive and welcoming community. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all our children and understand that adjustments to teaching approaches and specific support are sometimes necessary to meet individual needs. Our goal is to create a nurturing learning environment that supports the unique needs of every child, ensuring that special educational needs are identified, assessed, and effectively addressed. This enables all our pupils to fully engage with every aspect of the curriculum.
We believe in the power of collaboration to help every learner achieve their full potential, and we take pride in celebrating each individual’s success. Our dedicated staff, governors, pupils, and families work together to foster an inclusive environment where children can thrive, build confidence, and develop independence. At Kingsfield, we celebrate diversity and ensure that every child’s learning journey is enriched with experiences and opportunities tailored to their needs.
Miss. Gemma Angier is our designated SENDCo. she can be contacted via the office office@kingsfield.cambs.sch.uk or telephone 01354 692323.
If you have any concerns about your child's learning please make an appointment to see your child's class teacher, or Miss Angier.
Support for SEND pupils
As outlined in the SEND Code of Practice 2015, every teacher at Kingsfield Primary School is a teacher of Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our class teachers, supported by the senior leadership team, regularly assess the progress of all pupils and ensure that appropriate support is in place to meet their individual needs. The staff at Kingsfield are dedicated to creating an accessible and inclusive learning environment that supports the needs of all our children.
Inclusion is at the heart of our school ethos, and we understand that children with SEND may require additional support in one or more of the following areas:
- Communication and Interaction (C&I)
- Cognition and Learning (C&L)
- Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH)
- Sensory and/or Physical Needs
Below, you will find more information about the types of support we can offer. If you have concerns about your child, we encourage you to make an appointment with your child’s class teacher to discuss the support available at Kingsfield Primary School.

Our Site
We have one main school building which is single storey. However, depending on the location of entry, the ground level changes. If you come to the front entrance, the site is completely accessible. The back of the site is significantly lower and so the entrance by our wraparound care building / Children's Centre offers a ramp for ease of access. If you have any concerns over the site which have not been addressed in our plan (please see below), do let us know by contacting the school office.
Our Plan
We are constantly striving to improve our school grounds and buildings so that are easily accessible. As such, we have a plan that looks at what we intend to do over the forthcoming years to improve the site further, this can be found in our policies page.
