Parent Carer SEND workshops
Parent SEND workshops
As part of our commitment to working in partnership with parents and carers, to support the best possible outcomes for our pupils, we aim to run SEND workshops during the year. We hope they help to provide a greater understanding of a diagnosis or difficulties a child may experience, in a caring environment, with practical advice.
