All mainstream schools have a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). They work with pupils, staff and parents to support pupils who need extra help to achieve their full potential at school. Pupils may be identified as having a range of learning needs or physical disabilities which could impact upon their learning.

On this page you will find SEND information, which explains how we support pupils with special educational needs in our school.

Ashbury CE Primary School provides for children and young people with a wide range of SEND including those with:

• Communication and interaction needs; this includes children who have speech, language and communication difficulties including autistic spectrum conditions.
• Cognition and Learning needs; this includes children who have specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs
• Sensory and / or Physical needs; this includes children who have visual or hearing needs, or a physical disability that affects their learning

We are a mainstream, academy school. Our SEND children are fully integrated into our four classes with small group rooms used for specific interventions.

• Our SENDCo is Mrs Lynda Timms. Should you have any queries please contact: office@ash.cambrianlt.org
• Our Inclusion Manager is Tim Smith
• Our governor with responsibility for SEND is Isobel Weller

Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective additional support. Teachers identify when extra help is needed, and tailored interventions are put in place to meet academic and pastoral needs. This helps pupils with SEND to achieve well and succeed.
