Our Aim

Our aim at City Road Primary School is to ensure that all children are happy and safe in their school environment, which helps them to become successful learners. City Road Primary School is a nurturing and inclusive school that endeavours to support all children's diverse needs.  

At City Road Primary School, we continually monitor the achievement and attainment of our pupils. We identify children who may have a special educational need and ensure that additional support is put in place to ensure they can achieve their full potential. Parents and pupils are involved and kept informed at every stage. We offer an open-door policy.  If you are concerned about your child, please contact the school SENDCO: Ms G Luna.

 

If you would like to contact the SENDCO, please phone the school office or message via email to arrange a time to speak over the phone or meet in person.
