SEND

Mel Fox, full-time SENCo – Inclusion manager

We work as a team to best support all children in our school and their individual needs.

Please feel free to make contact with any concerns: Senco@deal-parochial.kent.sch.uk

Each class has a teacher and teaching assistant. Some may also have learning support assistants with a child that needs a more focused level of provision and intervention to meet their needs.

Another source of support for families impacted by SEND is the Local Offer
