At Grove CE Primary we are proud of our inclusive ethos where every pupil is encouraged to let their light shine. We have developed and implemented an expanded universal offer available for all pupils based on Oxfordshire County Council's Ordinarily Available SEN Provision. In particular, we have included strategies recommended to support pupils with communication and interaction needs to make us an autism-friendly setting.
