SEND News
Our new SENCO and Assistant Head Teacher- Miss Denmeade- has been working to make our SEND processes as accessible as possible for both parents and staff. You can now find a new Graduated Response Flowchart below which shows clearly the stages we follow for all SEND concerns.
There is also access to an online form which you can use to begin a SEND concern process (detailed on the flowchart) as parents/ carers. Initial Concerns form
This process is focused on concerns related to children not already identified on the school’s SEND Register and has also been promoted amongst all staff, as early identification is key.
