Special/Additional Educational Needs
At St. Nicholas School the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) is Mrs R. Burling-Finn.
She works with children, parents/carers, school staff and outside agencies to ensure that all our pupils special educational needs are met.
Should you have any concerns about special educational needs you can contact Miss Finn through the main school office by telephone on 0121 355 2649 or email senco@stnicholassutton.org.uk
At St. Nicholas School we believe that all children have the right to the highest quality of education according to their needs. We provide a continuum of support for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Our Mission Statement and its aims reflect our commitment to supporting children with special educational needs.
