SEND Team
Our SEND team is Mrs Charlotte Hill and Mrs Lis Featherstone. Mrs Hill oversees the SEND for mainstream pupils and those attending the SEMH ARP. Mrs Featherstone oversees the SEND for the SEND Unit and C&I ARP.
It is the SENCO’s job to:
- Oversee the day-to-day operation of the school’s SEN policy
- Liaise with the relevant Designated Teacher where a looked after pupil has SEN
- Advise teachers on using a graduated approach to providing SEN support as well as supporting them in the preparation of effective support plans which are reviewed within set time scales in order to ensure pupil progress.
- Liaise with the HT and SEND Governor on the deployment of the school’s delegated budget and other resources to meet the pupil’s needs effectively
- Liaise with parents/carers of pupils with SEN
- Liaise with and be a key point of contact for external agencies
- Liaise with the senior management team in relation to keeping the records of all SEN pupils up to date
- Work with the head teacher and the local advisory board to ensure that the school meets its responsibilities with regard to reasonable adjustments and access arrangements by phoning the school on 01642 559609 or sending an email.
