Supporting our learners with additional needs and disabilities Barford Primary School is a truly inclusive school community, and we work hard to ensure that all of our amazing young people shine and succeed. On this page, you can find some information about how we work hard to meet the needs of all of our learners.
We understand that it can be worrying and often confusing for parents if they feel that their child may have an additional need or disability, but as a school community, we want to help and support you and your child in whatever way we can.
Any concerns around your childs learning or needs should be raised with the class teacher in the first instance, and you can also contact Mrs Bailey, our SENDCO through the school office. Miss Stedman, our Executive Head Teacher, is also more than happy to speak to any parent or carer regarding our provision for children who may need additional support.
