Support Services for Children, Families and our Community within Wokingham
At All Saints C.E. (Aided) Primary School we celebrate the achievement of every individual, offering opportunities for all to develop as life-long learners. We value all children equally and welcome children with special educational needs as part of our inclusive approach.
We recognise some children need support for the long term or sometimes on a short-term basis and have established a team and trained staff in school who focus on support for our children and their family.
