SEND
“The SEN support received for our child's education and development at Sywell CE School has been extremely well matched to his developing needs for equal access to education and development.
We particularly value the way his whole-self development is supported including consideration of his personal strengths and areas to progress. The communication and coordinated approach of the amazing SENCo, teaching and support staff and external organisations has been pivotal to the success of the support given.”
“We have received very good support from the SEND teachers & class teachers over the last few years at Sywell. We have regular meetings where our child’s progress & any of our concerns are discussed and the communication is very good. Our child is provided with extra support in & out of class where needed.”
“We have been very satisfied with how well our son’s needs have been met at Sywell. Staff are willing to go above and beyond to support individual needs. Our son has been made to feel included, and staff are creative in finding ways to help him access all activities. Something that was important for us, was to find a school that’s honoured and respected our son’s idiosyncrasies- Sywell have most certainly done this, and our child feels happy, safe and part of the Sywell community.”
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Sywell CE Primary School. Navigating the journey of raising a child with special needs can be daunting, and as parents, we often find ourselves questioning how our child will thrive in the world.
The dedication and support we have received from every member of the staff at Sywell have far exceeded our expectations. The genuine care and commitment they have shown our son, along with their dedication to inclusivity, is truly remarkable. From the Headteacher and SENCo to his class teacher, one-to-one support staff, and all non-teaching personnel, each individual has displayed sincere compassion and understanding.
While our son experiences both challenges and successes at school, we appreciate the regular communication and collaborative action plans that keep us informed. The ongoing sessions focused on his progress, along with the shared strategies between home and school, ensure that we are all working towards providing the best possible support for him”.
