SEND

 Meet the team

Special Educational Needs in Carrant Brook Junior School is overseen by Miss Thompson.

Miss Thompson moved to Gloucestershire from Northern Ireland in July 2021, having worked in a primary school for almost ten years, initially as a class teacher, then SENDCo and Acting Head Teacher. She developed a particular interest in SEND and passion for inclusion very early on in her career, and decided to go on to study psychology in her spare time to further her knowledge in how best to support the learning and development of children with additional needs.

Children learn in different ways, and the team's role includes ensuring that children with additional needs have the opportunities and provision they need to access high quality education along with their peers, enabling and empowering them to reach their full learning potential (and she is really quite passionate about it!).

Miss Thompson takes a very child-centred approach to their job, liaising with teachers, school leaders, parents, the LA and other professionals to ensure that each child’s specific needs are met in school, so that they have the same opportunities as their peers.

We want all our children and young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), to achieve the best possible outcomes and receive the support they need when they need it most.

We have built on the SEND pathway and the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) to develop one integrated, holistic Graduated Pathway of Early Help and Support. This pathway will enable practitioners to work with children, young people and their families ensuring they receive the right support when they need it most.
