SEND and Inclusion
SENDCO - Mrs Chalk
Our school SEND coordinator (SENDco) is Mrs Chalk. If you'd like to arrange a meeting with our SENDCO, please email admin@overdale-jun.leicester.sch.uk
Recognition and understanding of Special Educational Needs (SEN) is hugely important to all our staff, to ensure all children meet their potential; to our parents, to ensure we work together to meet our pupils' needs; and to the children, to guarantee they have an enjoyable and productive learning experience. We are committed to offering an inclusive and creative curriculum for all children, regardless of their differences.
The following documents describe our approach to addressing the needs of pupils itch additional needs and our contribution to the Local Offer. (click on the links)
