Children with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
A Warm Welcome
At Sythwood Primary and Nursery School, we believe every child is unique and deserves the chance to shine. Some children may need a little extra help along the way, and that’s where our SEND team comes in. We work closely with families to understand each child’s strengths and challenges, and together we put the right support in place so that every child can feel happy, confident, and ready to learn.
Welcome from the SENDCo
Hello, my name is Jaime Gridley, and I am the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCO).
At Sythwood Primary and Nursery School, we are committed to providing an inclusive education for all children. We follow the statutory guidance set out in the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and the Children and Families Act (2014). Our aim is to ensure that every child can access a broad and balanced curriculum, make progress, and flourish within our school community.
We recognise that some children may require additional support to meet their needs, and we work closely with parents, carers, and external professionals to provide the right support at the right time. We believe that working in partnership with families and listening to the voices of children are key to ensuring positive outcomes.

SEND Information Report
Welcome to our Special Educational Needs (SEND) Information Report. Its purpose is to give you an overview of how we can support your child and you if your child has additional needs that require a special response. We hope that it will answer any questions that you have. However, if you need any further clarification, or have additional questions, please feel free to contact the Special Needs Coordinator (SENDCo), whose details are listed.
Every child has a unique combination of strengths and needs, and Sythwood Primary and Nursery School is committed to educating children with a wide a range of abilities. All pupils at our school share the right to experience a broad and balanced curriculum that matches their needs; we are committed to working closely with all parents to enable this.
