Experience tells us that dealing with small problems early helps to stop them growing into bigger problems.
Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator is Mrs Rebecca McGuinness. Please contact her if your child has a Special Educational Need or Disability.
Our Inclusion Manager is Mrs Helen Wardman. Please contact her if your child is facing a challenge at home or school that you think that we can help with.
Please ask to speak to one of them if your child is facing challenges. Experience tells us that dealing with small problems early helps to stop them growing into bigger problems. Sometimes it is difficult to meet with your child's class teacher to let them know about a small problem. No problem is too small (or large) for them to try to sort out.
