Special Educational Needs
I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.
Mother Teresa
We are proud of the fact that we are an inclusive school and all our children are special and individual.
Sometimes some of our children need a little more help than others to achieve their potential. Our SENDCo (Special Educational Needs Disabilities Coordinator) and the staff in your child’s class are working hard to help all the children. If you have any worries please contact them or the school.
Our SEND Co-ordinator works across school to support the children.
