Introduction and SEND Information Report

At Havannah First School we strive to be a fully inclusive school where every child is valued, respected and supported to succeed. We are committed to ensuring that all pupils are able to maximise their learning and development opportunities, personally, socially, emotionally and academically, regardless of gender, ethnicity, social background, religion, physical ability or special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

 

We recognise that children thrive when they receive the right support at the right time. Alongside our dedicated Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO), our teaching staff and our highly skilled Teaching Assistants, we provide a broad range of educational, pastoral and emotional support tailored to individual needs. We work in close partnership with parents, carers and a wide range of external professionals and agencies to ensure that every child is given the best opportunity to flourish, develop confidence, overcome barriers to learning and become an active and successful member of our school community, ready for the next stage in their education.
 

Alongside working with school, parents and carers can also contact their local Newcastle Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service for impartial information, advice and support in relation to their pupil’s SEN and/or disability.

 

The Newcastle Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service can be contacted on 0191 2116255 or by email: sendiassadmin@newcastle.gov.uk
