Hullavington CE Primary and Nursery School prides itself on its ability to offer, and successfully deliver, a full and stimulating curriculum that is inclusive to all children, irrespective of need.
The SENDCO, Mr Rob South, has a great deal of experience in the role of supporting pupils with additional needs.
The SENDCO works closely with all of the teaching staff who, as a result, are able to support children with a wide range of academic, physical and social needs. This may be in the form of classroom-based support or withdrawn support, sometimes in small group or one-to-one sessions, using resources from within the school and from the support services within the local authority.
As a school we pride ourselves on our ability to support children with a variety of special needs and to ensure that all children are treated equally. As a result, the school is suitably equipped to deal with a wide range of individual needs. The school and the governing body regularly review its provision for children with special needs and ensure that its staff are well prepared and trained.

FAQS
How does Hullavington identify learning needs?
A wide range of tools are used in the identification of need, starting with the expertise of our experienced staff of teachers and TAs. A concern form is used to formally record evidence of need, passed on to the SENDCO. Termly staff meetings also allow staff to share concerns, although this can be done at any point. Parents are welcome to share their concerns at any point, with class teachers or the SENDCO, whose email address is above. Professional advice is sought where appropriate.
What does it mean if my child is on the SEN register?
We work to meet children's needs regardless their diagnosis, statement or SEN status. Learners on the SEND register will receive high-quality provision, available to all learners, with adjustments where needed to overcome barriers.
Learners on the SEND register will receive the graduated response, which includes three target meeting and provision review meetings per year.
How can parents/ carers of SEND children communicate with the school?
Informal interaction with class teachers and the SENDCO is available at any time. Additionally, we hold 3 provision & target review meetings per year, ideally attended by parents/ carers, class teachers and the SENDCO. Learners with EHCPs additionally have their annual reviews.
We further hold open mornings, coffee meetings and even meetings for the local cluster.
