Special Educational Needs and Inclusion

Support For Children with SEN and Disability

Great Kimble Church of England School is proud to be an inclusive school that is committed to providing a challenging and enriched curriculum tailored to meet the needs of every pupil, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). By acknowledging the unique needs, strengths and talents of each child, the school ensures that all pupils have the opportunity to excel and reach their own potential.

Great Kimble Church of England School provides quality first teaching for all pupils within the classroom, which is further supplemented by scaffolding, adult support and intervention as appropriate. Our school site and facilities are accessible for pupils with disabilities and we will always endeavour to meet the needs of all our pupils.

If you feel your child needs more support or they are displaying behaviours at home that may be different to those seen in school, please talk with your child's teacher in the first instance. We have an open-door policy and welcome parents to voice their concerns.

Our School Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) is Mrs B. Matthews and can also be contacted if you feel you need more support. Please call the school office on 01844 346 189 if you would like to arrange an appointment with her, or alternatively, she can be contacted via email: senco@gkglt.co.uk
