Inclusion Team
Throughout your child’s time in school, they may benefit from some additional support from the Inclusion Team. The Inclusion Team work closely with your child’s class teacher and phase leader to support pupils with special educational needs/disabilities, pastoral concerns, medical needs and social and emotional needs. They offer support and guidance not only to pupils and staff, but also to parents where possible.
