SEND @ Ward Jackson
Special Educational Need and Disability
At Ward Jackson Church of England Primary
We support the children throughout their journey as much as possible with quality teaching however some children will need additional support to help them achieve their targets.
These children are usually identified when parents, teachers or the children are concerned about their progress.
If you are concerned about your child’s learning or progress, please talk to their class teacher first.
Then we can discuss the best way forward for your child.
There are many different kinds of Special Educational Need and Disability (SEND) and we are able to support children with a wide range of needs within our school.
The Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-ordinator (SENDCo) works closely with Class Teachers and other agencies to work out the best support for children with Special Educational Needs.
