SEND

All mainstream schools have a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). They work with pupils, staff and parents to support pupils who need extra help to achieve their full potential at school. Pupils may be identified as having a range of learning needs or physical disabilities which could impact upon their learning.

On this page you will find SEND information, which explains how we support pupils with special educational needs in our school.

Our SENDCo is Lucy Butcher
