SEND - Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

 

Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator, SENCo is Mrs Lucy Thompson.

 

If you have concerns with regards to your child's education, development or social emotional needs please discuss with your child's class teacher in the first instance.  The class teacher will endeavour to put actions in place to assist your child.

 

We recommend that you also make contact with the Children and Family Health Service https://childrenandfamilyhealthdevon.nhs.uk/ or the Public Health Nursing Service https://www.devon.gov.uk/educationandfamilies/health as appropriate.

 

Should further assistance be required a referral to our SENCo should be submitted.
