A Warm Welcome to the SEND Department
Our aim is to provide the support needed for all students with additional needs to make progress and fulfil their potential academically, personally and socially. Some support is available from Teaching Assistants in lessons, in addition to the Hub which is open every day to help develop literacy and numeracy skills as well as offer support with homework/coursework and examination preparation.
Our first concern is always the progress and wellbeing of your children and we appreciate any feedback you have: if you ever have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Opening Hours (under normal circumstances)
The Hub is open in the mornings from
8am – 8.30am on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays,
at lunchtimes from 1.15 – 2pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays,
and after school from 3 – 4pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
