Further Information and Support (SEND)

We have collected together a list of useful websites for external agencies. This will enable parents and carers to find further information and advice on a number of issues affecting young people. There are also links to parenting groups, support networks and therapy services.

If you can’t find any support that you are looking for, please contact the school here and we’ll try and provide information internally or point you in the direction of an external agency who can help.
