Our SENCO is Miss Sarah Fitzsimmons.
If you click on the links below you can find out how we can support you and your child as a school. The SEN Information Report specifically tells you in more detail about how, why and what we do at Priorswood to support children who may have a special educational need and/or disability. We work together continually with our parents and they have helped us develop what we offer as a school.
Please feel free to telephone and/or book an appointment if you have any concerns or require further information
