The school enjoys good working relationships with a wide range of people who provide services to children with SEND and their families, particularly when a child is demonstrating further cause for concern or their learning need is more complex and persistent.
The external specialists may:
- Act in an advisory capacity
- Extend expertise of school staff
- Provide additional assessment
- Support a child directly
- Suggest statutory assessment is advisable
- Consult with all parties involved with the child
These include:
- Durham SEND Information, Advice and Support Service
- Education Welfare Officer (EWO)
- Educational Psychology Service
- GPs
- Parent Support Advisor ( PSA )
- School Counsellor
- School Nurse Service
- Social Care & Health
- Speech and Language Therapy
In addition, staff work in partnership with colleagues from other schools, and they share expertise, training and resources to further support pupils with additional needs.
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
