Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
At Coety Primary School, we value each pupil's uniqueness and individuality. We are committed to giving all our children every opportunity to achieve and be the best they can be. We understand that every pupil has different life experiences and needs and strive to actively seek to remove barriers to learning and support each pupil on their learning journey.
Equality of opportunity is important to us irrespective of ethnicity, attainment, age, disability, gender or background.
Every pupil's learning journey is tracked through our school using teacher and standardised assessments on a termly basis. We analyse individual progress. If a need is identified your child will be able to access different interventions provided by our skilled staff.

In line with a graduated response, if your child requires further support, we liaise with external agencies, such as specialist teachers and the school's link Educational Psychologist.
At Coety Primary School, the Additional Learning Needs Coordinator (ALNco) is Mrs. C. Cronin, Assistant Headteacher.
If your child needs support "above and beyond" what a school can offer, he/she will be placed on an ALN register and require an IDP. You will have the opportunity to work with us, your child and outside agencies to plan the best way forward.
