Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
"Teachers identify swiftly emerging needs in pupils with SEND. They provide timely and appropriate guidance so pupils receive the necessary support in class. Where appropriate, some pupils also benefit from targeted interventions to help them achieve their individual targets."

At King’s Court First School we maintain an inclusive ethos. We understand and recognise every child as an individual and strive to provide a stimulating and caring environment so that everyone can achieve their potential. Every effort is made to ensure children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are fully integrated into the life of the school.
We believe in early intervention and work closely with parents to ensure appropriate support is offered to ensure the children are able to achieve the best possible results.
Staff receive regular training to support children with SEND. As a school we have experience of working with children with difficulties in communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social and emotional health and sensory/physical issues.
Our Special Needs and disabilities Coordinator is Mrs Lucy Johnson
Our Governor responsible for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is
Mr Neil Dodds
My role as Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator is to work with parents and teachers to identify children who may have difficulties accessing the curriculum, and to plan how we can help them. I make sure that we use the Assess - Plan - Do - Review process to ensure that we meet the needs of all children, and that we work with parents and children every step of the way.
I work in school from Monday-Wednesday and welcome any parent who has concerns about their child to come and see me. Talk to the office to make an appointment.
