If a child has special educational needs (S.E.N.) what does this mean?

A child has S.E.N. if he or she has:

Learning difficulties which are significantly greater than the majority of children of their age.
Disabilities which prevent or hinder them from making use of the educational facilities provided by the school.
Behavioural difficulties or emotional problems, which affect their learning.
So what happens next?

If you or your child’s teacher think that your child is having difficulties, there will be an opportunity for you to discuss this with the teacher and/or the Special Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO – Mrs Fowler).

We believe the best way to help your child is through a home/school partnership and we value all information you can give regarding their health, development and behaviour at home as well as your thoughts on how they feel they are getting on at school.
