Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

When a pupil has been identified as having a special educational need the class teacher provides suitably modified teaching and learning to help the child understand and achieve alongside their peers. We work hard to ensure that every child experiences success, by aiming for high standards in their work. Pupils are usually taught within the whole class with additional support. Some children undergo intervention programmes that require them to work one on one.

Miss Drysdale and Mrs Hadley are our school SEND coordinators and liaise with parents and outside agencies as well as the local feeder schools.
