At Ridgeway Primary Academy we aim to provide an environment where all students feel safe and can flourish. We continuously strive to ensure we respond to individuals in ways which take into account their varied life experiences and particular needs and we hold the highest aspirations for our students, ensuring they have access to a quality education.

SEND 'LOCAL OFFER'
A 'Local Offer' gives children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities and their families information about what support services the local authority think will be available in their local area. Every local authority is responsible for writing a Local Offer and making sure it is available for everyone to see.
