How accessible is the school environment?

Medina Primary is a very inclusive school and all responsible adjustments will be made to ensure fair access to the curriculum and activities. The school buildings can be accessed by wheelchair. There is a disabled toilet with hoist. Any other resources needed for access may be assessed by OT and Physiotherapy in order for us to ensure ease of access and safety for all. Where a child with complex physical needs requires a school place, we can consider placement within constraints of ‘reasonable adjustments’. More information about this can be found on the Portsmouth Local Offer website.

We are currently supporting children who have complex Sensory Impairments (Visual) and children with Cerebral Palsy who require adapted resources such as chairs, adapted technology and individual access requirements e.g. using specific entry/exit points.

If your child has complex physical or medical needs please contact the Inclusion Manager, Mrs Hibberd via the school office to discuss access requirements. If you want a copy of the accessibility plan please contact the school office.
