Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEN/D)

 

At Brentry Primary School, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child can achieve. Our SEN/D provision ensures that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities receive the support and resources they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. We work closely with families, staff and external agencies to plan and implement the most appropriate provision to meet the needs of individual children.

This section of our website provides you with our SEN/D Policy, School SEND Information Report, our Accessibility Policy and links to useful websites.

If you have any questions about SEN/D at Brentry Primary, please contact our SENCo, Claire Ransom:
