SEND

Meeting the needs of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at Collingwood

Vision for SEND –

At Collingwood, the achievement, attitude and well-being of every child matters and inclusion is the responsibility of everyone within our school. Every teacher is a teacher of every pupil, including those with SEND. We respect the unique contribution which every individual can make to our school community and we strive to ensure a culture of belonging exists for all.

A visit from Awesometistic!

We were lucky enough to have a very special visit from Richie and Sue from Awesometistic. Richie gave staff an amazing and bravely honest insight into what Autism is like first hand on a day to day basis. Not only was the chat informative, but he also gave us lots of ideas and strategies which we can implement into our practice at Collingwood. Thank you!
