Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) offer, and support for your child at Burton Green Primary School.
Burton Green Primary School aims to provide a caring and supportive environment where every child matters. All pupils are valued equally and are given the opportunity to achieve the very best they can. The Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo), Rachel Mackay, ensures children receive the provision they need.
Sometimes children need additional support for some or all of their time at school. ‘Special Educational Needs and Disability’ (SEND) describes any learning difficulty which means a child needs extra ‘educational provision’. Children might have a learning difficulty if they:
- have significantly greater difficulty learning than the majority of children their age
- have a disability which hinders them using general school facilities in their area
- require special provisions to help them with learning or to help them attend school
The following information details the types of support available for your child at Burton Green Primary School. It will help you to understand who can help if your child needs additional support, and how this support can be accessed. Please contact Rachel Mackay at Burton Green Primary School for any further information you require.
