Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Our SENDCo is Mrs Rachel Berry.

Please contact her via the school office on 0161 921 1390.

 

In line with our school values and ethos, we continually strive to meet the needs of our pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across the following 4 broad areas of need as detailed in the new SEND Code of Practice 2014:

  1. Communication and Interaction
  2. Cognition and Learning
  3. Social Emotional & Mental Health Difficulties (SEMH)
  4. Sensory and / or physical needs

 

We are supported by the Salford Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school and access an Inclusive Curriculum. The Local Authority SEND Services and Provision can be found as part of their ‘Local Offer’, detailed on the Salford LA website. 

 

Below is a short video link explaining the Local Offer from Salford City Council detailing how they can help a child with SEND as well as how they can provide support for a family with a child with SEND.
