We have one child with mild cerebral palsy, one visually impaired and 3 children with a hearing impairment. An accessible disabled toilet is available, and front ramps are in place. There are currently no pupils whose long term health issues have an impact on attendance.
SEND (Special Educational Needs) pupils make expected progress or better. There are less than 10 statemented pupils; less than 10 in Year 5, less than 10 in Year 6, less than 10 in Year 7 and less than 10 in Year 8. Staff attend training and awareness raising as appropriate for the health needs of pupils with medical issues e.g. diabetes.

Gender reassignment
No data is collated by the school about gender reassignment in the pupil or staff population.
Race
The Hexham Partnership of schools educates 8.6% of the BME (black and minority ethnic) pupils in Northumberland schools, and 4% of the EAL (English as an additional language) population. Few of these are educated in Corbridge Middle, which has a 98% white British profile. The Northumberland average is 95% which makes our profile above average for lacking cultural diversity, even in the context of Northumberland. As a result a conscious effort has to be made to introduce children to other cultures through the curriculum, assemblies and enrichment activities. The school has previously achieved the intermediate level of the International School Award and has contacts with an inner city middle school.
The school has consistently recorded and reported any racist incidents to the Local Authority, although this number is small. Most incidents are related to the unconscious use of racist language and therefore efforts are being made through assemblies, pastoral work and the curriculum to ensure children understand that the language sometimes used is abusive and offensive. Outside agencies such as ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ support our work in this area.
There is no pattern of underachievement for any of the BME or EAL children.
The school has too few fixed term exclusions to identify a trend relating to ethnicity.
