INCLUSION
Special Educational Needs and Disability - SEND
At St James Primary we pride ourselves on being an inclusive school and have a wide experience of working with children with a range of special needs. We believe that all children should have access to a broad and balanced education which gives them the opportunity to realise their full potential and achieve success. For some children, this may mean the school will make additional provision within the curriculum to meet individual needs. For other children, it may involve access to targeted interventions delivered by trained teaching assistants.
For further information on how we support children with Special Educational Needs at St James Primary, please see the Information Report.
Our SENCo is Mrs Nicola Berrill and she can be contacted via the school office on 01252 703248 or via email senco@st-james-elstead.surrey.sch.uk
Surrey's Local Offer provides a single point of access to clear and comprehensive information about services and provision that is available for children and young people from birth to 25 years of age who have a special educational need and/or disability (SEND). Details can be found on the Surrey local offer website https://www.surreylocaloffer.org.uk/kb5/surrey/localoffer/home.page
Additional support for parents can also be found at https://www.sendadvicesurrey.org.uk/
Our Provision Map shows the provision available in the four main areas of development;
- Cognition and Learning
- Communication and Interaction
- Emotional, Mental and Social Health
- Physical and Sensory
Some children have long term needs and will be supported by an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is Nicola Berrill. She can be contacted via the school office on 01252 703248 or via email senco@st-james-elstead.surrey.sch.uk.
