Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
At Grove Road Primary School, our ethos is “Growing and Achieving Together” and all children can expect an inclusive and well adapted education. Some children may need additional support during their time with us, while a few children will require more precise, individualised support.
Jade Hanley (currently on maternity leave) and Charlotte Wall are the school’s designated Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENDCo). They are responsible for the leadership and day to day management of SEND provision. Debbie Lamb is the school’s Head of Inclusion. She tracks and evaluates the quality and impact of the provision in place to meet the needs of all vulnerable learners. Gemma Sainsbury is the school’s Inclusion and Pastoral Support Coordinator and she supports vulnerable learners and their parents as well as liaising with outside agencies and supporting staff to ensure the right interventions and support are in place.

LOCAL OFFER FROM HERTFORDSHIRE
As part of the SEN reforms, Hertfordshire County Council has to provide access to information of what is on offer across the county.
The purpose of the local offer is to provide clear, comprehensive and accessible information about the support and opportunities that are available for all children and young people with SEND aged 0-25 and their families (not just those who have an Education, Health and Care Plan.)
