Our Inclusion Team

My name is Mrs Woolley and I have worked at Bramley Sunnyside Junior School for over 20 years, having a wealth of experience, teaching many of our wonderful children.

I am very passionate about providing every child with a creative and engaging education and am thrilled to have been successfully appointed as our new SENDCo. I am committed to helping every child to reach their full potential and to find their moment to shine.

Working collaboratively with our children, you as parents/carers, staff in school and wider professionals I ensure that our day-to-day provision for our children with additional SEND needs is inclusive to their individual needs.

As well as overseeing the day-to-day teaching, I also hold termly meetings to evaluate children's progress and targets to ensure that all children have the same opportunities to flourish.

I look forward to working in partnership with you; please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns.
