SEN INFORMATION REPORT (SIR) FOR BARNHAM BROOM C of E VA PRIMARY SCHOOL 2023-24
Welcome to our SEN Information report which is part of the Norfolk Local Offer for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. All school governing bodies have a legal duty to publish information on their website about the policy for SEND and must be updated annually.
At Barnham Broom CofE VA Primary School we are committed to working together with all members of our school community. This local offer has been produced with pupils, parents / carers, Governors and members of staff. We welcome your comments on our offer so please do contact us. The best people to contact are:
Headteacher: Mrs Heather Benson
Special Education Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCo): Mrs Helen Sivyer
SEN Governor: Revd Dr Tim Weatherstone
Our school has contributed to and adopted the Wymondham Cluster of Primary Schools' SEND Policy which can be found in the documents list at the bottom of this page.
When appropriate we can inform County of the need for multi-agency support in the form of a Family Support Process (FSP).
Additional information on what services and support the County Council provides for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), information about support in schools and other types of education provision as well as lots of links to support provided by other people such as the NHS, voluntary and community groups can be found on the County Council Website.
HAVE YOUR SAY
This SEND report declares our annual offer to learners with SEND, but to be effective it needs the views of all parents / carers, learners, staff and governors. Please engage with us to ‘assess, plan, do and review’.
