Inclusion
Dundonald Primary School is an inclusive school where the individuality of all our children is respected and valued, regardless of ethnicity, attainment, age, disability, gender, religious beliefs or background.
We are committed to providing the best care and support for all of our children and their families.
We actively seek to remove the barriers to learning to ensure all children are included in all aspects of school life.
Intervention Strategies
Our vision is to support the whole child, to strive for excellence and to secure positive relationships within our school community.
From time to time this means that staff may feel that a child would benefit from additional support. This support is usually provided through mini lessons either 1:1 or in small groups.
Due to our skilled and experienced staff, we are able to offer a wide range of support.
Additional Support Information
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
At Dundonald Primary School, the special educational needs and disabilities of children are identified through observation, assessment and discussions with parents/carers/previous school records and health agencies, for example, GP, school nurse etc. Parents/carers are consulted at every stage and invited to attend meetings with the SENDCO (Special Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator) and support services.

English as Additional Language
The term EAL (English as an Additional Language) is used when referring to pupils whose main language at home is a language other than English.
At Dundonald we value and respect cultural diversity, recognise the positive benefits of bilingualism and believe that all children have the right to equal opportunity of access to the curriculum. The school is committed to making appropriate provision of teaching and resources for pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL) and for raising the achievement of minority ethnic pupils who are at risk from under-achievement.
