It was fantastic to see lots of parents at our SEND drop in - Autism is my Superpower! Whilst some enjoyed tea, coffee and biscuits, information was shared about Autism and places they could find support from. We had a visit from the project manager for the Autism team at Child Action North West (CANW), who was very insightful when advising parents on how to move forward with any concerns or worries. The children also had lots of fun getting stuck in to activities that helped them with various needs including social communication and sensory! A wonderful afternoon.

SEND and Inclusion at Woodnook
Our school Inclusion Manager (SENCo) is Mrs. O’Hare.
The SENCo regularly reviews the progress and attainment of all children. Identification of a particular need may come from these reviews and/or discussions with class teachers and/or parents.
Each class benefits from a teaching assistant to support children and help to break down any barriers to learning.
The SENCo works closely with teachers, parents and other agencies in order to ensure that all pupils are able to successfully access the curriculum. A variety of techniques and programmes of intervention are used to support children who have a range of abilities, interests, beliefs and aspirations.
The school nurse team are available to support and train staff for any specific medical need. All TAs/support staff have received first aid training.
