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.
Links with external agencies are vital to ensure that we provide the highest levels of support for our students with SEND. 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
