SEND

At Hayes Park School we uphold the highest commitment to supporting, challenging and nurturing all children to enable them to achieve at school.

This is done through Quality First teaching in the classroom, by our Teaching and Support staff.

In some cases it may benefit our children to access further help and support in a specific way. If there is a need for a child to have access to specific styles of learning and support, to remove a barrier to learning, this will be done through a graduated approach. This will be initiated by the class teacher and supported by the trained Inclusion Team. We will endeavour to work in close partnership with parents at every juncture and strive towards achieving an excellent team around the child.

The Deputy Head Teacher for Inclusion is: Mrs Janna Murphy

The Assistant Head Teacher for Inclusion is: Mrs Christine Spring

The SENDCo is: Mrs Christine Spring (020 8573 6117)
