Adults have the highest ambition for every pupil, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Ofsted July 24
At Clapgate Primary School, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported and able to thrive. We recognise that every child is unique, with their own strengths and needs, and we work to remove barriers to learning so that all children can achieve their full potential.
All staff at Clapgate are teachers of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Our staff work closely with our SENDCo, teaching assistants and wider SEND team to provide appropriate, individualised support. We value strong partnerships with children, families and external professionals to ensure that every child can access learning and participate fully in school life.
Our SEND and Inclusion Team
Our SENDCo is Miss Dent, who joined Clapgate Primary School in June 2026. She brings valuable experience from her previous role as a SENDCo in another mainstream primary school, alongside experience of teaching within a specialist Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) provision.
Miss Dent works closely with class teachers, teaching assistants and external professionals to support children with SEND to make progress and flourish. She is supported by our Assistant SENDCo, Mrs Watson, and our wider team, who work together to promote inclusion and ensure that children receive appropriate support.
Contact our SEND and Inclusion Team
If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s development, learning or additional needs, we encourage you to get in touch. We value working in partnership with families and welcome conversations about how we can best support your child.
You can contact Miss Dent through the school office on 0113 271 6700 or by email at dentj@clapgateprimaryschool.org.
Our SEND Policy and Information Report details how we support and make provision for children with Special Educational Needs and explains the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in providing for children with SEND.
