BBC Radio 5 Live

Loxley Primary School is proud to share that we recently featured on a BBC radio programme discussing the Government’s proposed reforms to the schools and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) systems in England.

During the broadcast, Mr Dale spoke on behalf of small rural primary schools, highlighting both the opportunities and the challenges these reforms may bring for village communities like ours. The discussion focused on ensuring that every child can achieve and thrive, while recognising the unique role that small schools play in delivering inclusive, high-quality education close to home.

Championing Rural Schools and Inclusive Education

Mr Dale emphasised that small rural schools are at the heart of their communities, often providing highly personalised support for pupils, including those with additional needs. He shared Loxley Primary School’s commitment to:

  • Supporting every child to reach their full potential

  • Providing inclusive education for pupils with SEND

  • Maintaining strong partnerships with families and the local community

  • Preserving the vital role of rural schools in village life

He also highlighted the practical realities rural schools face, including funding pressures, access to specialist services, and the importance of ensuring reforms work effectively for schools of all sizes.

A Voice for Our Community

We are incredibly proud that Loxley Primary School was able to contribute to this important national conversation. Mr Dale’s participation reflects our school’s dedication not only to our own pupils, but to the future of education across the country.

By sharing our experiences, we hope to help shape a system where all children, regardless of background, location, or need, are supported to succeed.
