Support For Parents

 

SEND – Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

 

Class teachers work together with Mrs Tanner, our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator, to respond quickly to any area of difficulty children may be experiencing.  In partnership with you, we can formulate strategies to support your child and where necessary seek involvement from outside agencies such as paediatricians, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist ect. Please contact Mrs Tanner via email if your child is currently involved with or has previously been involved with any outside agencies. 

If you have any concerns about your child’s overall development, social and emotional needs, speech and language needs, physical and sensory needs or learning needs then please contact your child's class teacher in the first instance,
