Adults have the highest ambition for every pupil, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Ofsted July 24
At Clapgate Primary School, we are fully committed to equity and inclusion. We believe that every member of our school community deserves to be treated fairly, respectfully, and equally. Our approach to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is grounded in the understanding that every child is unique and deserves support tailored to their individual needs.
All staff at Clapgate are teachers of children with SEND. They work closely with our SENDCo to ensure that every child receives the appropriate support to access their learning. Our ultimate aim is to remove any barriers that may prevent children from reaching their full potential.
Our inclusive approach to SEND reflects our commitment to ensuring every child is happy, healthy, and able to thrive. By working in partnership with children, families, and external agencies, we make sure that all pupils are supported to engage fully in every aspect of school life.
Our SENDCo is Mrs Lawton, who joined Clapgate in January 2019. She brings with her valuable experience, having previously worked as a SENDCo in another Leeds school. Mrs Lawton works closely with our HLTAs, Mrs Watson and Mrs Hill, as well as a dedicated team of teaching assistants, to ensure that children with SEND make strong progress and flourish in our school environment.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s needs, please don’t hesitate to contact our SEND and Inclusion Team. Mrs Lawton can be reached through the school office at 0113 271 6700 or via email at lawtons@clapgateprimaryschool.org.

Our SEND Policy and Information Report details how we support and make provision for children with Special Educational Needs and explains the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in providing for children with SEND.
At Clapgate Primary School we offer a range of supports to enable all children to make progress. This begins in the classroom with Quality First Teaching, scaffolds to support independent learning, a multi-sensory approach and a structured TA training programme to ensure that all staff are skilled and well prepared for their role.
We offer a range of evidence based interventions for more targeted support in school, including (but not limited to) SENIT’s Reading Fluency Intervention, NESSY, Phonological Awareness, Alphabet Arc, Precision Teaching and Numicon Breaking Barriers.
