Special Educational Needs and Disability

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)

 

 

Debbie Peart - Inclusion Manager   Naomi Small - SENCo

 

A child has special educational needs if he or she has a learning difficulty, which calls for special educational provisions to be made for them. Haydonleigh Primary School is committed to inclusion, ensuring all pupils are given the support they need to fulfil their full potential. They should be equally valued and be fully included in aspects of school life. At Haydonleigh we are aware that children are all different and make progress at different rates. They have different ways in which they learn best. Our teachers take account of this in the way they organise their lessons and teach. Children making slower progress or having particular difficulties in one area may be given extra help or different lessons to help them succeed. We believe that by working in partnership with you as parents or carers to support your child in whatever way we can enable your child to achieve their potential.

 

Further information on what our school offers can be found here: 

 

Day to day support for all pupils is directed by the class teacher with additional support from Teaching Assistants. Any queries regarding a pupils learning should be directed to the class teacher in the first instance

Should you have any further queries please contact the school office via email office@haydonleighschool.co.uk
