Spring Cottage Primary School SEND offer
Spring Cottage has a commitment to inclusive education and aims to meet the needs of all pupils.
The school prioritises quality first teaching and ensures the children have access to a rich and engaging curriculum, which is adapted to meet their individual needs. We work closely with parents and other stakeholders to provide bespoke support for all pupils with additional needs.
The school aim for SEND, is to empower every child to reach their full potential, both socially and academically.
"The school exudes inclusivity. The two specially resourced provisions for pupils with special educational needs, provide exceptional learning support for pupils with Autism or communication needs. Leaders include these pupils where possible in the life of the school."

Spring Cottage Primary School SEND Coffee mornings
At Spring Cottage, we hold termly coffee morning for parents of children identified as having SEND.
These are friendly and informal sessions and cover a variety of subjects. It is an opportunity to meet with the school SENDCo, SEND Parent Link and SEND Governor, as well as various different agencies who work with our school to offer the best possible provision for all children.
Recent meetings have been about the changes to the SEND Code of Practice, Speech and Language interventions, SENDIASS and the support that IPASS offer our school. It is a great chance to come along and meet with other parents, share experiences and ideas, as well as asking questions and learning from each other.
