We continuously monitor pupil achievement and identify those with special educational needs, providing additional support to help them reach their full potential. Parents and pupils are involved and informed about key information, and we maintain an open-door policy. If you have concerns about your child, please contact our SENDCO, Ms. G Luna.

What do we offer?


Our Graduated Approach

Our Graduated Approach
We use a graduated approach to ensure every child receives the right support at the right time.

By working closely with families and professionals, we ensure that provision is tailored to help every child thrive.
