Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Team

At Peases West Primary School we have a team of people to oversee and support the delivery of SEND provision. The team is headed by our Lead for SEND Mrs Alison Johnson and our SEND Governor Mrs Sandra Dodds . Within the team, we have two Special Educational Needs Coordinarors (SENCO). Miss Catherine Hall  and Mrs Nicola Weatherall.  In addition to our SENCOs, we have a Family Liaison Worker, Mrs Diane Cowper, who provides extensive support to families on a variety of issues.

Supporting the SEND Team on safeguarding issues is Mrs Melissa Morton.

The role of the SENCO is to:
1. Oversee the day-to-day operation of the school’s SEN policy
2. Liaise with the relevant Designated Teacher where a looked after pupil has SEN
3. Advise teachers on using a graduated approach to providing SEN support
4. Advise on the deployment of the school’s delegated budget and other resources to meet the pupil’s needs effectively
5. Liaise with parents/carers of pupils with SEN
6. Liaise with and be a key point of contact for external agencies
7. Ensure that the school keeps the records of all SEN pupils up to date
8. Work with the head teacher and school governors to ensure that the school meets its responsibilities with regard to reasonable adjustments and access arrangements by phoning the school on (01388) 762380 or sending an email to: peaseswest@durhamlearning.net
