The role of Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) is an extremely specialist and demanding. This role is sometimes referred to as Inclusion Manager. In order to offer the best possible support for our children at North Lancing, the role is divided between three highly experienced teachers: Mrs Alex DeFreitas, Mrs Alice Burnage and Mrs Georgina Pickford.
Our SENCo’s oversee the twenty three teaching assistants working at school and coordinate support for all children needing that little bit of extra help. Some support such as additional specialist teaching, group work and support programmes are delivered by trained staff with school. Other services such as counselling are delivered by outside agencies.
We work very hard at North Lancing to provide a stimulating, accessible curriculum for all children. We identify pupils with additional needs quickly and put careful support programmes around them to help them succeed. If you have any concerns about your child’s needs please contact their class teacher who will refer you to the appropriate SENCo as necessary.
