We are proud to be an inclusive school. Our school provides a broad and balanced curriculum for all our children. We try to ensure that the Special Educational Needs of children are identified early. If a child has a Special Educational Need or Disability we aim to create an environment to meet that need.

Our school SENCO is Mrs Lucie Thornthwaite 

If you are worried about your child's progress in school, please speak to their class teacher in the first instance. However, Mrs Thornthwaite is able to discuss any worries or concerns you may have about your child's needs.

SEND Information Report

The purpose of this SEND Information report is to inform you, as parents/carers, how we support all of our children to achieve their full potential. It is also intended to provide you with information regarding how you will be updated about your child’s progress, what specialist services the school has access to and how accessible the school environment is.

If you would like further information about SEND provision please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Thornthwaite.
