Every child at Hucknall National C of E Primary Academy is an important and valued member of the school community. Class teachers take responsibility for the progress and well-being of all children within their class, meeting the Government standards of teaching and learning. However, during their time here, some children may experience periods when extra support is required to help them to feel secure and make good progress. Early identification of needs is important, so the school works with parents and external professionals to ensure the most appropriate support is available for all children. If parents have any concerns about their child’s progress and well-being, they can discuss them initially with their child’s class teacher, then with the school’s Child and Family Support Worker (Jane Brown) and the school’s SENDCo (Miss McGregor).

The following documents and links will help you understand what we do to support pupils with SEND and provide you with any further information:

Support for Parents 

We aim to work together with families to provide the very best support for our children.  We will try to help wherever possible, but there are times when specialist advice is needed.  Below are some documents that may be helpful.  If you have any specific questions, you are more than welcome to speak to Miss McGregor (SENDCo), you can contact her either through the school email or Class Dojo. 

What is the Local Offer?

The Local Offer gives details of all services available to support children with SEND and their families. This easy to understand information will set out what is normally available in schools to help children with lower-level SEND as well as the options available to support families who need additional help to care for their child.
