Welcome from the SENCO
Welcome to the SEND area of Kidsgrove Primary School. My name is Lucy Newbon, and I am proud to lead Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities at our school.
At Kidsgrove Primary, we are committed to ensuring that all children with SEND receive high-quality support that enables them to thrive both academically and personally. We work closely with pupils, parents, carers, and external professionals to identify needs early and to provide tailored support that helps children achieve their full potential.
As SENCO, I support staff in identifying children’s needs, planning appropriate provision, and monitoring progress. Our approach follows a clear cycle of assess, plan, do, review, ensuring that support is effective and responsive. We have strong links with a range of professionals, including Speech and Language Therapists, Educational Psychologists, the Autism Inclusion Team (AIT), Paediatricians and SEND Key Workers.
We aim to help children understand their own targets and next steps and to develop independence through appropriate strategies and adjustments. Our staff adapt their teaching to ensure that every child’s needs are met and progress is continually reviewed.
If you have any concerns or would like further information about SEND provision at our school, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am always happy to support and advise.
Best wishes,
Lucy Newbon | SENCO
