All Schools are required to publish the arrangements they have in place to support pupils with additional needs. This is called our ‘SEND Information Report’. We hope you find the documents below helpful for getting the right support for your child.

This year (2024/25), the school has 163 pupils on roll; currently we have 10% (16 children) on the school’s SEND register and have IEP's (Individual Education Plan) with 1 child in receipt of an EHCP (Educational Health & Care Plan) & one Health Care Plan.

The National average is 14% registered as SEND and 1.5% with EHCP's.

The needs of our children include: medical needs (diabetes), moderate learning, global developmental delay, physical needs, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.

Makaton

Makaton is a unique communication programme that uses symbols (pictures), signs (gestures) and speech to enable people to communicate. It supports the development of essential communication skills such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression.

Being able to communicate is one of the most important skills we need in life. Almost everything we do involves communication; everyday tasks such as learning at school, asking for food and drink, sorting out problems, making friends and having fun. These all rely on our ability to communicate with each other.

With Makaton, signs are used, with speech, in spoken word order. This helps provide extra clues about what someone is saying. Using signs can help people who have no speech or whose speech is unclear. 

If you have any questions about SEND or any concerns, then you could speak to:

Headteacher: Martyn Wells

SEND Leader: Lynn Kurvink

Key Stage 1 Leader: Lynn Kurvink

Key Stage 2 Leader: Elizabeth Silby

SEND Governor: John Garner

We will listen to your concerns and discuss the situation with you. If a longer meeting is needed, this will be arranged. Your concerns will be looked into over an agreed length of time, with the sharing of information between school and home. A follow-up meeting will then be arranged to discuss the next steps.
