Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At Woolenwick Junior School we welcome all children and their families and we appreciate the importance of all working closely together.
We recognise that all children are unique individuals and support them to achieve their full potential, whatever their ability or specific need, by providing equal opportunities for all.
Some children may need additional support during their time with us and a few children will need more precise individualised support. SEND provision may be delivered on an individual basis, in small groups or within the classroom. For many, support may be necessary for only a short time in order to address a particular problem. For others, support may be needed throughout their time at Woolenwick Junior School.
Supporting Resources
We have a range of special educational needs across our school. Here are some supporting resources to help during school closure.
If you have found a resource which you feel would benefit our children with special and additional needs, or have any questions about how you can support your child, please email admin@woolenwickjm.herts.sch.uk
