SEND

At Knavesmire Primary School, we aim to provide an inclusive, supportive and caring environment for all our children. Each child is equally valued and included, and given the opportunity to achieve the very best that they can.

Please take a look at our SEND Report which outlines for parents how we identify SEND, the provision we put into place and the impact we aim to have here at Knavesmire.

This report is underpinned by the Special Educational Needs and Disability code of practice: 0 to 25 years Statutory guidance.

Our SEND Policy can be found here.

Our SENCo is Miss Eleanor Gilligan.

What should I do if I have a complaint about my child’s SEN support? 

Complaints about SEN provision in each school should be made to the SENCO in the first instance. The school will try to resolve the complaint informally in the first instance. If this does not resolve their concerns, parents are welcome to submit their complaint formally. 

Formal complaints about SEN provision in each school should be made to the Principal in the first instance. They will be handled in line with the Trust Complaints Policy which can be found here.
