SENDCo Administrator
Mrs Philips is the SENDCo Administrator.
She works in school on a Wednesday
We believe that every child and their family matter, therefore the inclusion of pupils identified as having Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) in our school community is integral to the diversity and richness of school. Our whole-school inclusive ethos reflects a genuine belief that all children will achieve their full potential and foster a life-long love of learning. We seek solutions to all barriers to learning for all our pupils and support all our families and pupils in the best way we can.
