Norbreck Primary Academy prides itself in being very inclusive. We endeavour to support every child, regardless of their level of need.  All pupils follow the National Curriculum at a level and a pace that is appropriate to their abilities. At times and when appropriate, the curriculum is adapted to meet individual needs.  We do this in order to: 

• Ensure all pupils have access to the school curriculum and all school activities.
• Help all pupils fulfil their potential regardless of any difficulties or disabilities.
• Ensure that all staff are aware of and sensitive to the needs of all pupils.
• Teach all pupils in the most appropriate way.

We are very proud of how our children flourish here at Norbreck. With our support and guidance we ensure that they:

• Gain confidence and improve their self-esteem.
• Have enthusiasm for their learning.
• Develop their independence at all age and ability levels.

We regularly review the policy and provision in order to achieve best practice.
