Meet Our Inclusion Team
Inclusion at Grampian Primary School
At Grampian Primary School, we believe that every child deserves to feel welcomed, valued and supported to achieve their very best.
Our Inclusion Team works closely with children, families, staff and external professionals to ensure that every child receives the support they need to thrive both academically and emotionally.
We recognise that children learn in different ways and may need different levels of support at different times. Our aim is to remove barriers to learning, promote wellbeing and ensure every child feels a sense of belonging within our school community.
