Brackenbury Primary School prides itself on its inclusive nature and SEND provision.
Special needs fall into four main categories, as identified in the SEND Code of Practice (2014):
- Communication and Interaction
- Cognition and Learning
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health
- Sensory or Physical.
If you think your child may have special educational needs and they have not been diagnosed as such, you should in the first instance contact your child's Class Teacher or the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo).
Each year our SENCo produces a SEND Report, which is presented to the Governors. If you would like to view this report please click here.
