Wessington Primary School

We are very proud of our Daycare Nursery, our children and their achievements. We have high expectations of our children and strive to achieve excellence for all. Our Daycare is a safe and happy place where everyone is known and valued, where needs are acknowledged and met. Wessington Primary Daycare Nursery provides high quality care and education for children from 2-3 years old.

At Wessington we have experienced staff trained to a high level. As well as gaining language, mathematical, scientific and technological skills we aim to build children's confidence, develop their self-reliance, help them to learn how to make decisions and develop their ability to articulate feelings and ideas.

Sunderland City Council have introduced SEND ranges which are used to help schools identify and assess the needs of their pupils and to put in appropriate support. All Sunderland Local Authority (LA) maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and are supported by the LA to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school.
