Accessibility Plan
All students who attend the Fountains Primary School have a learning disability. To be considered for admission, pupils will be undergoing an assessment for or have an Education Health and Care Plan which identifies their needs.
If you feel that we could accommodate your child’s needs, we encourage you to get in touch and arrange a visit to the school.

Behaviour, Exclusions and Anti-Bullying
Zones of Regulation Page
The rationale of our school behaviour, exclusions and anti-bullying policy is to promote good behaviour, self-discipline and respect. We believe that good behaviour should be recognised and rewarded. Positive behaviour is any behaviour which encourages and maintains the good order and conduct of our school. Positive behaviour ensures children feel safe, secure and welcome as a member of our school and wider community. We aim to encourage children to develop their self management skills which will enable them to play a full part in school life and become responsible citizens in the future.
