Children may need extra support, sometimes in the classroom with the teacher or teaching assistant (TA) or maybe through more personalised intervention. If further support is needed then a range of outside agencies may be involved. These might include the School Nurse, Speech and Language Therapist, Special Educational Needs Support Specialist Teacher, Behaviour Support Services or the Educational Psychologist.
We have a comprehensive SEND Policy and SEN Information Report and believe that every child is entitled to have his or her particular needs recognised and addressed. We also provide an overview of the Graduated Response which outlines the provision that we offer all children at Little Dimchurch Primary School.
Mrs Fiona Adam is the SEND Coordinator and she is in school daily. Her email address is: head@dimchurch.worcs.sch.uk
Mrs Adam is also available via Class Dojo
Would you like to be part of our SEND Parent Forum? An opportunity to meet with other parents and Mrs Adam to discuss our policies/provision in school and work together to improve outcomes for our wonderful children. If so get in touch on the email above!
