We are able to offer a wide range of professional expertise in Special Educational Needs, from our own school staff and also through consultants who work within our school:

• Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is  undertaking the National SENCo qualification with Oxford Brookes University
• We have staff who have enhanced training in a number of interventions for the different areas of SEN.
• Teaching assistants are trained to support the particular needs of the children they work with. We also have the support of a Special Needs Advisory Support Teacher, Ruth Thornburn for an afternoon a week, as well as a home school link worker, Tresa Knight.

We have close and effective links with a range of advisory agencies to support us in addressing children’s needs. These include:

• Educational Psychologists
