Plympton St Maurice Primary School

We strive to ensure that all children are able to access learning and achieve their potential in a safe and stimulating environment.

Some children may find this more difficult due to a special educational need which may or may not have been diagnosed by a professional. Following careful monitoring and discussions between staff, SENCO and parents these children may be placed on the SEN register and an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be drawn up. This IEP will identify small step targets to help the child to make progress and identify provision and any outside agencies that are involved. IEP's are reviewed termly.

All pupils receive a high quality of teaching, where a range of teaching and learning styles are used. Appropriate learning objectives are set to all children and matched to their individual needs.

Our curriculum is based on a LUNAR approach which is taught alongside the National Curriculum. LUNAR incorporates; Life skills, promoting a love of learning. Understanding the world and our place in it. Nurturing curiosity and creativity to feed the imagination, cultivating Aspirations, through self -belief and motivation. instilling Resilience and Independence.

Within each year group classes are supported by Teaching Assistants, who work with small groups of children to deliver interventions programmes as needed.
