Meet our SEND team

Within our SEND team, we have a SENDCo, SEND Lead, a number of specialist roles and Learning Support Assistants.  Our SENDCo and SEND Lead work alongside the Heads of Year and Heads of House to monitor student progress and will ensure that your children have every opportunity to become the best they can be.

Our SEND Leads liaise with parents, carers, students and outside agencies to make sure that reasonable adjustments are in place to allow students to be fully included and supported in every aspect of school life. The SEND leadership team can be contacted at: [email protected]

Our specialist staff carry out one to one interventions and small group sessions with our students where necessary. They also track and monitor progress data to ensure that students make progress within their respective areas.

Learning Support Assistants (LSAs)

Our Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) support students in lessons and around school. At primary school, they may have been called a Teaching Assistant or TA. Our LSAs are attached to specific year groups, which helps them get to know students well and understand their individual needs.
