SEN Information Report

Since September 2014, all schools are required to publish an SEN Information Report, detailing how they will support pupils who have special educational needs and/or a disability to compliment the Local Authority's Offer (Local Offer). Our SEN Information Report can be found at the bottom of this page.

Our SENCo

The SENCo at our school is Mrs Sarah Rickards and she works at both Gosberton Academy and Gedney Church End Primary Academy. To book an appointment, please speak to Miss Bates in the office or email enquiries@gedneychurchendprimaryacademy.net

Telephone: 01406 393392
Email: enquiries@gedneychurchendprimaryacademy.net

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact the school where an appointment can be made or further advice given.

Do you have a child with special educational needs and/or a disability?

If you do, have you signed up to the Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum?  LPCF is a Lincolnshire charity aimed at families with children who have special educational needs and led by parents and carers of children with SEND.  They provide free access to a range of support and information for families.  If you are not already registered with LPCF, please visit their website to sign up.

Local Connections

Our school is part of a collaborative partnership with 6 local schools and is also part of the South Holland SENCo Cluster group where local SENCos meet regularly to offer advice, support and training opportunities.

Complaints

Complaints about the SEN provision in our school should be made to the class teacher in the first instance, then the SENCo and finally, the Head Teacher. Further information can be found in the SEN Information Report which can be downloaded from the link at the bottom of this page.
