SEND
Our dedicated SENDCo, Mrs Thompson
The reason I went into teaching over 20 years ago was to support children with Special Education Needs and this passion has not dwindled. Through my career I have supported children and adults with SEND Needs in mainstream and specialised settings. I love the role of SENDCo collating and collaborating information from a whole range of specialists to support children and improving their outcomes. Every child's journey is unique and occasionally at some point we all need a little additional help and support to overcome difficulties.

Accessibility Plan for Disabled Pupils
We have a number of children who may be considered disabled. We have a robust inclusion ethos at St Leonard's and ensure every child experience our diverse curriculum. We have flat access to all our classrooms and learning areas, provide additional Physical Education opportunities for children with Special Eductional Needs and regularly take part in inter school competitions specifically aimed at this target group.
Our new classroom block opened in September 2015 and along with the wide access doors and large classroom space came additional outdoor areas for recreational use which further enhance use by disabled pupils.
