SEND

Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can affect a child or young person’s ability to learn. They can affect their:

  • behaviour or ability to socialise, for example they struggle to make friends
  • reading and writing, for example because they have dyslexia
  • ability to understand things
  • concentration levels, for example because they have ADHD
  • physical ability

Who to talk to

If you think your child may have special educational needs, contact our SEND co-ordinator, Mrs Blackburn; or ‘SENDCo’ in your child’s school or nursery.

Contact your local council if your child isn’t in a school or nursery.

Your local Information, Advice and Support (IAS) Service can give you advice about SEND.
