At Shotton Hall Primary School we have an excellent pastoral team and work closely with families to address any areas of concern. In addition to school staff we also have a parent support advisor and school counsellor.
Also, we consult with a wide range of agencies and partnerships to ensure the medical and social needs of SEND children are met. If your child has a medical need then an Individual healthcare plan will be implemented with the SENDCo, parent and school nurse. This will ensure that we are effectively supporting any pupils with medical conditions. They provide clarity about what needs to be done, when and by whom. They will often be essential, such as in cases where conditions fluctuate or where there is a high risk that emergency intervention will be needed and are likely to be helpful in the majority of other cases, especially where medical conditions are long-term and complex. However, not all children will require one. The school, healthcare professional and parent should agree, based on evidence, when a healthcare plan would be inappropriate or disproportionate.
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
