The Valley Community Primary School supports children with SEN in four areas: Communication and Interaction; Cognition and Learning; Social, Emotional and Mental Health; Sensory and/or Physical. Mrs A. Owens is the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENCO). The SEN offer is published to show the types of support available and how to access it. If needs are complex or severe, an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) assessment may be considered. Schools have a legal duty to publish information on SEN implementation and this information is updated annually in the SEND Key Documents section.
