Inclusion
All Hertfordshire maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). They are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school. Schools aim to be inclusive, with the needs of SEND pupils being met in a mainstream setting wherever possible.
Mrs Munroe, Mrs Ironside and Mrs Smart are our Inclusion leaders (SENDCOs) across the federation. They are experienced teachers who hold professional qualifications in working with children with SEN and children with vulnerabilities. They work closely with each of the class teachers and help to identify needs, organise provision and liaise with external professionals in order to meet the needs of our children. They also organise additional intervention programmes with the support staff in school.
If you want to talk about your child’s special educational need or disability the Inclusion Leads can be contacted in school. Appointments can be made via the school office.
