It is our aim that every child is challenged to make excellent progress in an accessible way. Sometimes children may need additional or tailored support in order for this to happen.

Our teachers work closely with our SENCO, Mrs Wilson, to ensure that any children who have been identified as having additional needs are supported appropriately; this may sometimes involve outside agencies and small group work. Parents will be kept informed by school if this is the case and are invited to attend and participate in any meetings that take place.

If your child has additional medical needs we work closely with you to ensure they are cared for appropriately whilst at school.

Please see our school information report below, for more information about what we can offer you and your child if they have Special Educational Needs and Disability.

Should you wish to contact Mrs Wilson, please email or alternatively phone the school office, who will be able to help.
