SEND
Welcome to Newberries Primary School, a friendly and inclusive primary school. At our school, we believe that every child is unique and deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and achieve. We are committed to providing an inclusive, nurturing and supportive environment where all children feel valued and respected.
We recognise that some children may need additional support to help them access learning and develop their confidence. Our dedicated staff work closely with children, parents and careers, and other professionals to understand individual needs and provide support.
On this page you will find information about our SEND provision and our approach to supporting pupils with additional needs. You will also find links to useful resources for parents.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child's needs, please contact your child's class teacher initially. Mrs Webster-Smith, our school's SENCo, works closely with all staff and, as a team, we are always happy to work together to support you.
Mrs Webster-Smith's working days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. She can be contacted via email: admin@newberries.herts.sch.uk
