Greswold Primary School SEND Information

Greswold's interim SENDCO is Miss Ceillam with support from Mrs Jellicoe. She can be contacted via the School Office.
 

Local Authorities are required to publish, and keep under review, information about services that they expect to be available for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and disabilities (SEND). This is called the Local Offer. The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. The Local Offer for Solihull LA can be found here.

At Greswold Primary School we pride ourselves on our inclusivity and we are committed to providing the best possible education to all of our children regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social background, religion, sexual identity, physical ability or educational needs. This document is intended to give you information regarding the many ways in which we ensure we support all of our children, including those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. It is important to note that it may not include every skill, resource and technique that we employ as these are continually being developed and modified to meet the changing requirements of individual children.

Nurture UK

Greswold are proud to be a part of Nurture UK. 

When we use the word ‘nurture’, we’re talking about the social factors that shape the development of children and young people: who they spend time with, instead of who they were born to. 

Born from an understanding of how children learn and develop, a nurturing approach to learning addresses the impact of a pupil’s social environment on their emotional well-being, their social skills, and how ready they are to engage in school and the wider community.    

By addressing missing nurturing experiences, teachers can help pupils to develop the social skills they need to thrive, and the confidence and resilience to deal with whatever life throws at them – not just at school, but for the rest of their lives.
