Children in Care with SEND

We have a Designated Teacher for Looked after Children, Mrs Nesbitt, who is also the school SENCO. She ensures that all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who are looked after and have SEN.

Mrs Nesbitt works closely with the LA Virtual School to ensure Looked After Children make good progress from their relevant starting points. We participate in Personal Education Plan meetings where Mrs Nesbitt meets with the family and other key professionals to agree a set of outcomes and provision that will help the child to make progress and ensure that their social and emotional needs are met. We receive Pupil Premium to support and enhance provision for Looked After Children.

The Governors with a responsibility for Children in Care are Theresa Milward and Lee Mitchell. They can be contacted through the school office.
