The SEN Co‑ordinator (Senco) oversees provision, with involvement from external agencies (e.g., Speech and Language Therapy, Educational Psychology). A Family and Pastoral Officer supports wellbeing, and pupil views are gathered through tools like pupil passports and one-page profiles. Regular staff training and a whole-school approach to behaviour and safeguarding are noted.
