Parson Cross CE Primary School
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES
At Parson Cross Church of England Primary School, we have the highest aspirations for all pupils. We work hard to ensure that every child receives the best education from Reception to Year 6. We acknowledge that children’s progress will vary and can be affected by many factors at some point on their journey.
We are committed to high achievement, supporting children and families in ensuring that we provide the very best educational opportunities to all. As an inclusive community, we are deeply committed to removing the barriers to learning that can hinder the progress of individual children, or groups of children. Inspired by our Christian vision and values, our dedicated team work with dedication to ensure that all children access fulfilling, ambitious learning experiences, regardless of need.
Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCO) is Miss Peniston. She was awarded the Post Graduate Special Educational Needs Coordination National Award for SEND Coordination in 2018.
