SEND Support

Dear Parents,

 Supporting all children during COVID-19 is our priority, and we understand that children with additional needs may be finding it particularly challenging. Regular phone calls home have highlighted various issues that some of our families are facing with regards to concerns over the mental wellbeing and home schooling of their child with SEN. In response this I have put together a pack of information designed to offer support to both children and parents. It contains a number of helpful links in the following areas:

• Social, emotional and mental wellbeing
• Speech, language and communication
• Autism
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Basic Maths and English

It is our intention to invite our children with SEN back into school before they start back in September in order to help with the transition back into school life as we understand that this may be a cause of worry or anxiety for some. 

Please ring school if you need anything or you can contact me directly via email
