SEND

In any classroom, children learn at different speeds and in different ways. Teachers will plan their lessons and choose different types of lesson materials to help each child learn best. Some children need more help than this and may have difficulty with:

• Reading, writing, numbers
• Talking and listening
• Developing social skills
• Physical skills
• Social, emotional and mental health
• Behaviour

A child who needs extra help in any of these areas has special educational needs (SEN). Some children may have SEN because of a medical condition or a disability. Other children may have SEN without a diagnosis or a disability. At Millbrook Combined School, it is the responsibility of the Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion who is the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) to help with supporting these children, their teachers and their parents.
