Special Educational Needs
At Burley and Woodhead, we are committed to the equal inclusion of all pupils in all areas of school life, as embodied by "Many Parts, One Body".
We recognise the diverse and individual needs of all of our pupils and take into account the additional support required by those children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
We provide support for pupils across the 4 areas of need, as laid out in the SEND Code of Practice 2014:
Communication and Interaction
Cognition and Learning
Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties
Sensory and/or Physical needs
Social, Emotional & Mental Health Needs
We have a range of services in school to support pupils with their SEMH needs. These include Nurture Groups and Pastoral Support with Miss Hughes. We have close working relationships with Educational Psychologists. We also support young people and families by working with ‘Early Help’ support service.

Concerns
The school works, wherever possible, in partnership with parents to ensure a collaborative approach to meeting pupils’ needs. If there are any complaints relating to the provision for pupils with SEND these will be dealt with in the first instance by the Head teacher (Mrs Nina Dobson). The SEND governor (Mrs Mary Brooks) or Chair of Governors (Mr Tristan Wade) may be involved if the complaint is not resolved satisfactorily.
If you have any concerns or wish to discuss SEND at our school, please do not hesitate to contact our SENDCo:
