SEND Support

Our team can support improvements in Special Educational Needs across the school.

Our SENCo Support will advise on classroom setting and support, ensuring that staff and classrooms enable all children to achieve their full potential, observing lessons and interventions, and providing written and verbal advice to inform practice. We also offer a range of maths, literacy, social & emotional, and language assessments to help you to support your pupils.

We can support you with provision mapping, reviewing policies, producing Individual Education Plans (IEP), applying for a statutory assessment and conducting Annual reviews.
