Special Educational Needs Information and Policies
Mrs Bev Partridge is our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO).
She can be contacted via the school office - Telephone 01749 850375.
In September 2014, a statutory Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) was introduced by the Department for Education (DfE). The SEND reforms build on best practice and join education, health and care services, from birth to twenty five, to provide the best outcomes for children and young adults.
Local authorities have a duty to publish a Local Offer. This provides all of the services that children and young people with SEND can expect on offer in their authority.
Somerset Council’s Local Offer can be found by following this link:

Schools are required to publish how they aim to meet these requirements. This is referred to as a School Information Report.
