SEND at Lindridge
Children may need extra support, sometimes in the classroom with the teacher or teaching assistant (TA) or maybe through more personalised intervention. If further support is needed then a range of outside agencies may be involved. These might include the School Nurse, Speech and Language Therapist, Special Educational Needs Support Specialist Teacher, Behaviour Support Services or the Educational Psychologist.
We have a comprehensive SEND Policy and SEN Information Report and believe that every child is entitled to have his or her particular needs recognised and addressed. We also provide an overview of the Graduated Response which outlines the provision that we offer all children at Lindridge St Lawrence CE Primary School.
Mrs Amanda Greenow-Langford is the SEND Coordinator and she is in school daily. Her email address is:
Mrs Greenow-Langford is also available via Class Dojo
