Special Educational Needs Provision
At High Legh Primary School, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected and able to thrive. We celebrate diversity and recognise that every child is unique, valuing all children equally regardless of their needs, abilities, backgrounds or behaviours. We believe that every child is important and has the right to achieve their full potential. We work in partnership with children, parents, carers and external agencies to ensure that individual needs are understood and appropriately supported. Through high-quality teaching, personalised provision and a culture of belonging, we aim to ensure that all pupils at High Legh Primary School have equal access to an ambitious education and every opportunity to succeed.
Our SENDCo is Mrs Caroline Dempsey (NASENCO Qualified 2016) cdempsey@highlegh.cheshire.sch.uk
We believe it is essential to identify additional needs as early as possible, so if you have any concerns please speak to your child’s class teacher, who will pass information to Mrs Dempsey; this appointment can be made via 01925 753713.
