School Approach to SEND
Welcome to the information page for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) for Irby Primary School.
Mrs McHale has responsibility for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) within our school. It is a privilege to support all of our children, parents and staff to work together to set high expectations, inspire, challenge, achieve and celebrate learning in our school. We believe in celebrating the unique abilities of every child and providing tailored support to ensure their success.
Our dedicated team of staff work closely with parents, external specialists, and the wider community to create an inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued and supported. Through personalised support plans, adaptive teaching, and a culture of empathy and understanding, we empower our SEND pupils to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can reach their full potential.
What do I do if I have a concern that my child might have special educational needs?
Come and talk to us – no problem is too small! If it is something that you, as a parent, are concerned about, then it is something to share with us. Your first point of contact is your child’s teacher. They will be able to discuss your child’s progress and any difficulties they may be having. Your child’s teacher may suggest some further observation or assessment in order to collect more information and will make a note of your concerns. They may then suggest discussing your child’s specific needs with Mrs McHale – our SENDCO. If you have any worries or concerns and would like to have a chat with Mrs McHale is then please contact the school office to make an appointment.
Working in Partnership with Parents/Carers
As parents and carers, your partnership and involvement are invaluable to us. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or ideas regarding your child’s SEND support, please know that our door is always open. Your insights and feedback are not only welcomed but valued as we work together to create an environment where every child can thrive and flourish.
