Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
At Mears Ashby CE Primary School we are proud of our inclusiveness and accessibility to the curriculum for all pupils. This sits within the heart of our vision and values as we encourage all to 'live life in all its fullness'. Below are the relevant policies and information which set out our commitment to the provision of high quality education to all pupils, including those with SEND.
Our SENDCo
Our SENCo is Miss Rachel Hicks. She is available by appointment to meet with parents about any concerns. Meeting arrangements can be made via the School Office. She can be contacted on senco@mearsashby.pdet.org.uk
SEND Report
Use the link below to access our most recent Special Educational Needs Information Report. The purpose of this report is to give information about how the school implements the Special Educational Needs Policy which you can find on our policies page.
Complaints about SEND provision
We urge parents / carers with any concerns regarding the SEND policy or the provision made for their child to speak to the school as soon as possible and, in the first instance, to the class teacher or the SENCO. If parents / carers feel their child's needs are still not being met they should make an appointment to see the Headteacher. If concerns are still unresolved parents / carers may wish to engage with PDET’s Complaints policy procedures.
NB - any issue relating to statutory SEN assessments should be pursued with the relevant Local Authority and not via PDET’s Complaints policy.
