A Warm Welcome To You All

SEND & Inclusion

Lenthall Infant and Nursery School is an inclusive school that supports children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). 

Our school SENDCo is Miss Elizabeth Brown, who can be contacted via the main school office.

Miss Brown ensures that as a school we:

  • Work in partnership with parents and external agencies (where necessary) to support the early identification of special educational needs.
  • Deliver excellent teaching to all of our pupils but particularly to those that have SEND so that their progress is strong from their individual starting points.
  • Deliver targeted interventions and one-to-one support as necessary so that children are able to keep up with their peers. 
  • Signpost families to the support on offer through the Local Authority and other networks.
  • Liaise effectively and efficiently with a range of external professionals.

Please click here to view our School Offer for SEND in a new window.  This includes comprehensive information about:

  • How do we identify pupils that may need extra help
  • What to do if you think your child may have SEN
  • Our SEND Coordinator (SENDCo)
  • How we support children with SEND
  • The accessibility of our school environment

Our 3-year accessibility plan sets out our aims in ensuring that the school is fully accessible in terms of access to the curriculum, the physical environment, and to information for members of our school community.

 Leaders make good use of the additional funding the school receives. They provide extra teaching to individuals and small groups. This additional support is having a positive impact on improving the achievement of disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities.

What is the SEND Local Offer?

Derbyshire's Local Offer includes leisure and activity providers, health and care services, education providers, and support groups.

Derbyshire Information, Advice, and Support Service for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities - DIASS (formerly Parent Partnership) provides free, impartial, and confidential information to parents and children, and young people on issues around education, health and social care, relating to special educational provision.

Sometimes real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles.
