SEND stands for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Special Educational Needs and Disabilities are defined in the Code of Practice 2014 where it is stated that "A child or young person has SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her"
Our SENDco (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator)is Sarah Kriskovic. She is responsible for the day to day operation of the SEND policy. If you have any questions about SEND please contact sendco@lostwithielsch.org
We can support your child to achieve the very best they can at Lostwithiel School. We value the input that parents make to their child's education and aim to work together to provide the best possible support for your child.
