Support for children with SEND
Please see a range of useful websites, collated by Miss Barker-Milner:
Key Adults in School
We run an open door policy where any type of issue can be discussed and supported promptly and effectively.
Miss. Fisher is our Mental Health First Aider and Safeguarding Lead. She can provide support initially for any of your concerns or issues regarding your children's mental health or behaviour. Miss Fisher can offer help with making referrals to other agencies. She can also help to support parents too!
Miss Barker Milner is our SENDCo (Special educational needs and disability co-ordinator). She can support you with any concerns you have regarding your child's communication, social, emotional, academic and physical needs and support with next steps. Miss Barker-Milner runs half-termly parent/carer SENDco drop ins for anyone who has concerns about their child's needs to attend.
Mrs Elliott is our Pastoral Manager and joined us at Orchard in September 2023. Mrs Elliott runs bi-weekly Parent/ Carer Coffee Mornings through the Pastoral hub. These range from 'chill & chat' to workshops from a practitioner at Northorpe Hall.
