Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Children have special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty which calls for special education provision to be made for them. They have a learning difficulty if they;

find it more difficult to learn than the majority of children their own age
have a disability which stops them from making full use of the educational facilities provided for the children of the same age in school

Shillingstone CE Primary School has a SENDCo – Mrs Annie Dowling. We also have a designated governor for SEND, called Sally White.

Dorset Parent Carer Council

The new SEND Code of Practice provides a much stronger emphasis on placing children and families at the heart of processes and on involving them in planning and decision making. The Dorset Parent Carer Council is run by parents for parents and for their families and work to provide a strong and united voice for the families of children who are disabled/have SEN.
