SEND Provision at Walton-on-Trent CofE Primary and Nursery School

As a small and caring school, inclusive practice is at the heart of everything we do. This means that we treat every child as an individual within the classroom environment to ensure that all learners, irrespective of their starting point are empowered to make progress and feel success. 

Current SEND Leadership and Provision

Due to staff changes, the responsibility for SEND provision is sitting with a SEND team of three experienced professionals:

Leanne Gaffiney - Headteacher and SEND Team

Caroline Williams - Acting SENDCo

Kelsey Grigg - Shadow SENDCo

As a school SEND Team, we co-ordinate all the specific provision that is put in place to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We are responsible for writing and ensuring effective implementation of the Special Educational Needs Policy. 
To monitor progress, we liaise closely with the class teachers and arrange further or different provision if progress is slower than expected.  To gain more specialised advice and support, we also liaise with a range of external agencies.

If you have any concerns or questions about any SEND matter, please do not hesitate to contact us via the school email (info@walton-on-trent.derbyshire.sch.uk), which will then be forwarded to the relevant personnel.
