Special educational needs
If your child has special educational needs (SEN) we can help ensure you receive the right support.

 

What are special educational needs?

Your child may have special educational needs if they need more help to learn than other children of the same age. They may also have difficulties with one or more of the following: 

 

  • Paying attention and listening
  • Playing with others and being sociable
  • Understanding and reading
  • Talking and writing
  • Controlling their behaviour
  • Sensory or physical needs which may affect them in school
