Information for parents and carers about the provision for children with Special Educational Needs

At Inglehurst Infant School we endeavour to ensure that all pupils develop confidence and independence through a creative learning experience. We aim to celebrate individual learning achievements within a community where everyone is friendly, accepted and valued.

Inglehurst Infant School is committed to meeting the needs of pupils with SEND and are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school and have access to quality education. Our school's aim is to achieve maximum inclusion of all pupils whilst meeting pupils individual needs.

Inclusion Lead

Mrs Ellis serves as the Inclusion Lead and Designated Lead for Looked After Children. Her role involves coordinating the care and education of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This primarily includes children facing challenges with learning, behaviour, and sometimes medical needs.

Mrs Ellis collaborates closely with external agencies upon referral, including the local authority’s Special Needs & Disability Service, medical practitioners (such as those specialising in hearing, speech and language therapy, and paediatrics), and the Psychology Service. She also liaises with class teachers to address any concerns regarding the pupils in their care
