The School SEND Policy
At The Cottesloe School, we aim to:
- Meet your child’s needs
- Remove barriers to learning
- Raise their self-esteem
- Build their confidence
- Develop their independence
- Provide access to a personalised curriculum
The school SEND policy is reviewed every year and revised in discussion with parents/carers, pupils, staff and governors.
If you have any concerns or need any support
- Contact your child’s form tutor, subject teacher or Ms Hibbert SENDCO
- Contact the Governors and the Headteacher, Simon Jones
Partnership with Parents
The school will work in partnership with you to meet your child’s needs.
This means:
- We listen to your views
- You as parents are equal partners in decisions about your child’s education
- You will be are kept informed about your child’s needs and progress
- Regular review meetings (pastoral/academic)
- We also offer a New Parent Support Network to reassure you during the transition year (COVID dependent)
- We offer a weekly SEND drop-in session, 3:15pm to 4:15pm. Please contact the school for more details and appointments (COVID dependent)
