“We are rooted and grounded in love so that everyone has the roots to grow and the wings to fly"
Our vision is to help all children develop a sense of respect, tolerance and self-confidence. We encourage and support children to achieve their full potential and to develop a life-long passion for learning, whatever their strengths or needs. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school.
Our recent Ofsted in December 2024 stated that
"There is a clearly understood process across school for identifying pupils’ needs. These needs are then met through carefully targeted support. This has demonstrable impact. This includes identifying and supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Access to well-considered additional support and resources, where required, helps these pupils to achieve well."
At Dishforth CE Primary School we
- use our best endeavours to make sure that a child with SEND gets the support they need – this means doing everything we can to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND
- ensure that children and young people with SEND engage in the activities of the school alongside pupils who do not have SEND
Our SENCo is Miss Ungerechts

SEND - Local Offer
All North Yorkshire maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND.) They are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, whatever their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school. The Local Authority publishes its Local Offer which provides information for children and young people with special educational needs (SEND) and their parents or carers in a single place.
