Service Description:Alvaston Community Junior School aims to create a positive, vibrant and exciting environment where quality learning and teaching that meets the needs of all children is the central focus of our improvement agenda.

We are a friendly school where we strive to maintain positive relationships and celebrate achievement. Our clear behaviour policy is built on the foundation of positive reinforcement of all that is good and helping every child to live up to our high expectations.

The school also offers a variety of lunch-time and after school clubs, as well as a breakfast club from 7.30am.

We endeavour to make every effort to achieve maximum inclusion of all pupils whilst meeting pupils’ individual needs. We recognise the entitlement of all pupils to a balanced, broadly based curriculum.

Our SEND policy reinforces the need for teaching that is fully inclusive.
The Governing Body will ensure that appropriate provision will be made for all pupils with SEND.

As a school we work hard to eliminate discrimination, promote equality of opportunity and foster good relations between disabled and non-disabled children (see Anti-Bullying policy).

At AJCS there is an Enhanced Resource Facility (ERF) for Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) Where a child has a disability, we will make reasonable adjustments, including the provision of auxiliary aids and services, where appropriate, to ensure that disabled children and young people are not at a substantial disadvantage compared with their peers and are included in all aspects of daily school life.

In line with the Children and Families Act 2014 and the “Supporting pupils at school with medical conditions” guidance, we make arrangements to support pupils with medical conditions. Where these children also have SEN, their provision will be planned and coordinated according to individual needs.
