Central to our values at Dial Park we aim to include all children positively and supportively in order to help them achieve the best outcomes from their Nursery and Primary education. Over the years we have supported many children with specific and/or unusual personal challenges and have captured some of these inspirational journeys in our case studies which you will find below.
We value inclusion; it is every child's right to feel included in their primary school.

At Dial Park we work extremely effectively with families to support them in making better choices around school attendance. We support and encourage them to try different strategies to improve attendance. If this doesn’t work then we issue fixed penalty notices - something we always aim to avoid.
The following case studies capture the type of support and tenacity we employ every day to improve attendance which supports better progress for our hardest to reach families and their children.

At Dial Park Primary School we support the inclusion of all pupils through our use of Restorative Approaches. Restorative approaches is a relationships base model used throughout Stockport family and helps our children to build, maintain and repair relationships. It is an integral part of the excellent behaviour you will find throughout our school.
Your child’s SENCo (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-Ordinator) at school is your key resource to accessing a wealth of advice and support for you and your child.
