The SENDCo (Miss Rowell):

• Coordinate and advise on additional support and strategies to support children. • Coordinate support for all children with SEND. • Liaise with external agencies as the need arises. • Maintain the school SEND register and ensure the policy remains up to date. • Offer specialist support to teachers relating to SEND and monitor the progress of identified pupils.

Following the publication of the Child and Families Act (2014), Local Authorities and schools have been required to publish and keep under review, information about services for children and young people with SEND (0-25) can expect to be available. This is known as the Local offer. The aim on the local offer is to improve choice and transparency for families, in addition to being a resource for parents in understanding the range of services and provision available in the local area.
