Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) works hard to access appropriate support and funding for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Funding is spent thoughtfully to be of the greatest benefit to those children who need additional support. For instance, a new member of staff has recently joined the team specifically to support children with SEND. Children with SEND are well supported and make good progress from their starting points.
