SEND

“From my personal experience, the teachers make the school great. The main thing I love about this school is that the headteacher and her team are undoubtedly passionate about working with every student making sure they are not missing out on education by tailoring their work to suit each child’s needs.” 

“The support we have received for our child so far has been outstanding. The staff communicate well, are amazing and have been very supportive. The inclusive ethos of the school, together with the school values have enabled our child to flourish and learn.” 

“Since our child started with Sywell School, the SENCO and the wider school have assisted with her SEN needs and provided the extra support required in lessons. Specifically, we are pleased with the number of times the SENCO has met with us to talk about how our child is getting on within school, as well as assisting us as parents in applying for funding to support our child.”
