Support for children with SEND at Didsbury CE Primary School
At Didsbury CE, our aim is to help your child achieve the very best they can at school. We want everyone to feel that they belong to the school; we want everyone to believe in themselves and support each other; and we want everyone to become well-rounded individuals who achieve their best for society. To do this we work in close partnership with parents and carers - you know your child best and you may feel that your child requires additional help or support for some or all of their time at school. Not all children will need extra support with their learning but the progress of all children at Didsbury CE is monitored closely to ensure support is provided wherever necessary and as early as possible.
The SEND Information Report below will inform you of the types of support available for your child at Didsbury CE. This information will help you understand who can help and how the support can be accessed. The SEND Policy (linked below) outlines in greater detail how we support pupils with SEND. Our SEND Identification Procedure will show you how staff identify children with additional needs and how you would be involved in this process.
Concerns
If you have any concerns about your child or would like further information about any aspect of our SEND provision then please contact our SENDCO (Special Educational Needs and Disability Coordinator) or Deputy SENDCo. Your child's class teacher will also be able to talk to you about what support is available at our school and how your child is getting on in all aspects of school life.
Mrs P Charlesworth (SENDCo) or Mrs L Burns (Deputy SENDCo) can be contacted via the school office on 0161 445 7144 or by email, using the following address: senco@thrive-dce.com
Additional Support and Independent Advice
We have collated a list of sources of additional support and independent advice for parents/carers and children which can be found on our Useful Links for Parents page. Below you will find a direct link to Manchester's Local Offer which helps children and young people with SEND up to the age of 25 and their parents/carers in the Manchester City Council area understand what services and support they can expect locally. This includes their statutory entitlements which are required by law
