Special Educational Needs and Disability / SEND Information
SEND Provision 2024-2025
Gascoigne Primary is a Rights Respecting school; Article 23 states that
‘A child with a disability has the right to live a full and decent life with dignity and, as far as possible, independence, and to play an active part in the community’
What we offer to children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
At Gascoigne, we believe that all children share an entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum which meets their social, emotional and learning needs. We support all children to achieve the best they can and have a clear expectation that all pupils are provided with high-quality learning experiences that lead to consistently high levels of pupil achievement. We also believe that a child's well-being and self-esteem are crucial for academic progress. Our children and their families are at the centre of all we do.
The majority of our pupils achieve well through high quality teaching and learning experiences in the classroom. We have a committed Inclusion Team that works with those children who require further support to help them achieve their best.
If we identify that a child has special or additional needs, parents will be informed that their child is being included on our SEND list. These children will have a School Support Plan, which is reviewed with parents each term. If you are concerned about your child’s development, please contact one of the Special Educational Needs Coordinators (Inclusion Managers) to discuss this further.
The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators are:
- Cheryl Monks – Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 (Email: CMonks@gascoigne.co.uk).
- Selina Alexander (NASENCO) – Key Stage 2 (Email: SAlexander@gascoigne.co.uk).
They also can be contacted by calling the School Office at 0208 270 4291.
The Special Educational Needs Governor: Ms Tanaz Noor and Jamil Khan.
