Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Miss Martin is the school SENCO officer and will support any children with specific needs.
Last year we ran several successful coffee and cake sessions for parents and carers to come into school and meet other parents and staff in a friendly and supportive environment to share thoughts and ideas.
Here are the dates for these sessions for this year.

Contact us
If you wish to contact us with any concerns about the support provided by our school, please contact the SENDCO or headteacher in the first instance (see Contact Details) and we will do our best to address your concerns. If you wish to raise a complaint about the support we provide, please access the One Academy Trust Complaints Policy by following the link to our One Academy Trust policies here. This explains the procedure to be followed. Alternatively please contact the school office and we will email you a copy of the policy or provide a hard copy version.
