SEND
Welcome to our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) page. We hope you will enjoy reading about the variety of ways in which St Peter’s Church of England Primary School is able to support SEND pupils to reach their full potential. We are a fully inclusive school that pride ourselves on our skilled staff and working with families to find the best support for their children.
The SENCO, here at St Peter's, is Mrs K Brandwood and can be contacted via the school office - 01706 648195
Parent Coffee Mornings
We hold monthly parent coffee mornings based on a range of different needs, where proffesionals in that area attend and are available to ask any questions you may have about your child. We recently held a very successful session around social communication and Autism - see the set up below!
At St Peter's, we use the 'Three Waves of Provision' approach to support your child. See below for an understanding of how every child is best supported and challenged, and what this may look like in school.
