Mrs Victoria Wall is the SENCO and it is her job to champion our children who have additional needs and their families. She is qualified at masters-level in the National Award for Special Educational Needs Co-ordination and is the Lead Professional for Autism within school.
She is SENCO full-time.
There are many ways Mrs Wall fulfils this role and below is just a flavour of what happens:
Supporting children and their parents at multi-agency meetings;
Completing assessments and paperwork to secure additional support for children;
Providing training and resources to staff to ensure they have the very best in class provision for children with additional needs;
Offering every parent of a child with SEN with an appointment each term to discuss their child's needs and next steps. This is in addition to the usual learning review meetings with the class teacher.
