SEND

At Rockcliffe our support for children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) is based on our core whole school vision of shining brightly together. Our children have a diverse range of backgrounds and needs and all are welcome in our school. Our aim is to ensure that all children know they are an important part of the Rockliffe Family and we put the best support in place for them to succeed and achieve. 

Our SENCO is Joanna Thompson and she is supported by our Early Years Lead, Lynsey Duggan, who oversees SEND in our Early Years. They can be contacted via the School Office. We have close contacts within the Local Authority to provide advice and support. 

Our school is proud to hold the Dyslexia Friendly Award.

Parent Comments

"The support my child has received from the SEND team has been fantastic, from the initial suggestion that he might need extra help, which was done with tact and honesty, to the implementation of targeted programmes, which has been carried out consistently and effectively.  We particularly appreciated the regular face to face meetings with the teacher, SENCO and other professionals, which allowed us to ask questions and to understand exactly what our child needs and the support he is getting.  We have seen a huge difference in our child since he has started on his recent programme; his confidence, motivation and enjoyment have improved hugely - we really couldn't ask for more!"

"Rockcliffe has more than catered for my child's needs. They have given her the confidence and guidance to flourish. We are eternally grateful for the care and support we have had as family."
