Within each of our class groups, pupils are supported by our exceptional staff team, allowing your child to flourish and grow. All staff are qualified to lead and/or assist with lessons, together with providing appropriate social and emotional support.

We believe it is vital we know each and every one of our pupils’ needs, whatever they may be. This enables us to provide bespoke support at all levels to all learners, including those with complex special needs and those with exceptional talents.

Children with a particular special need will also receive help from the local authority’s support services who the academy works closely with.

Getting support for your child

During a child’s time at Tuxford Primary Academy there may be a number of reasons why they might need some extra support. This could be help with homework, understanding a topic within a lesson, problems with friends or family, or that they’re worried about something inside or outside of the academy.

Any child can raise their concerns with any member of staff who will be able to help or pass this on to the most relevant person. If this is a safeguarding issue, then Mrs Witham, Mrs J Farrell and Mrs T Blacknell are our designated safeguarding leads, but all staff can support and signpost this.

We take any request for help seriously and put in place measures to provide extra support where necessary.
