SEND
Some children have a learning difficulty or disability that makes it harder for them to access their learning. These children will require extra help from school, this might be for a short period or throughout their time in education.
It is important that we recognise that all children are individual and have the right to be supported in order to achieve their potential.
A child or young person has SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.
A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:
• has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others ofthe same age, or
• has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in a mainstream school
Where to Find Help and Information:
​
Talk to school (Mrs L. Woolley - SENDCo)
​
If you think your child might need extra help or support with their education, the first step is to talk to someone in school. We will listen to your concerns and discuss how we feel we can best help.
​
Next Steps
​
If we identify that your child has Special Educational Needs, we will arrange a meeting to discuss what type of support your child might need.
