SEN Specialist Expertise

SENCO and SEN Staff

Our SENCO is Mr Cox, escomb@durhamlearning.net

More details of the SENCO’s role can be found in the SEN Policy which you can find in the School Policies section of our website.

External Specialists and Other Bodies

The external specialists may:

  • Act in an advisory capacity
  • Extend expertise of school staff
  • Provide additional assessment
  • Support a child directly 1-1 or within a small group
  • Support parents where appropriate
  • Suggest statutory assessment is advisable
  • Consult with all parties involved with the child

These include:

  • Durham SEND Information,  Advice and Support Service
  • Cogniton and Learning (LA)
  • Durham LA Educational Pyschologists
  • Speech and Language Therapy Durham
  • Sensory Worx (Sensory needs)
  • Occupational Therapy

How We Secure Specialist Expertise

Our Additional Needs Budget is used to support children and young people with SEN.

This is used to support children and young people with SEND by:

Providing specialist training in supporting children with social and communication difficulties, understanding how to write SMART targets for support plans, accessing Specialist Provision from various providers, e.g. Educational Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Cognition and Learning.

If a child has complex special educational needs, we could also receive additional funding from the Local Authority to meet the agreed outcomes.
