Assistant SENCO
All of the children at The Meadows Primary are individuals, but sometimes they may require extra help to complete their work. We strive to support all children to enable them to achieve their full potential. Quality first teaching is vital; however for some children there are occasions when further additional support may be needed to help them achieve their learning goals.
They may need additional resources such as specialist programmes to help them to access the curriculum. They will benefit from interventions matched accurately to their individual needs and from the support of our SENCO.
Our Special Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) is Mrs Clark, who you will find in school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our Assistant SENCO is Miss Deakin, who you will find in school all week. One important aspect of their role is liaising with all adults who are involved with the children who have Special Needs. We also who works closely with a wide range of outside agencies and educational providers to offer children the best learning experience possible based on their individual needs.
We are very proud of our Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) Provision which provides a relaxed homely environment for working with individuals or small groups, usually across in the hub. We like children to experience lots of practical activities, such as cooking, play therapy, art & craft etc.
