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. 

SEND Leadership and Provision

Leanne Gaffiney - Headteacher 

Kelsey Grigg - SENDCo

Kat Phillips - Advisory 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, your first port of call should be your child's class teacher who is responsible for their provision. Appointments with the SENDCo should be booked in advance at a mutually convenient time.
