Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND)
At Parson Street Primary School we are committed to creating an environment where all pupils can thrive and develop. We work in partnership with parents/carers and other agencies to provide appropriate support for our pupils so that they can fulfil their potential. Our 'Local Offer' is outlined in the document attached.
If you would like to discuss the needs of your child or have questions or concerns, please get in touch with our SENDCo - Mrs Karlina Lock or Assistant SENDCo's - Mrs Harriet Bigwood or Ms Hannah Biddlecombe (currently on maternity leave) , who can be contacted via the office or by emailing:
