SENDCo is a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator

Our SENDCO is Miss Houghton who works closely with our Inclusion Leader, Mrs A Smith. You can contact Miss Houghton by phoning (01302 874385) or emailing the school (admin@newvillage.doncaster.sch.uk), visiting the main office to make an appointment or through the school’s Messenger service.

It means that your child has a need that requires additional or different support from the main provision already given in the classroom.  For instance, despite trying a range of approaches in the classroom, your child may still have difficulty with an area of education and is significantly  behind the expectations of their year group and that the school is only able to help them progress through extra support.

Your child may have a physical barrier to learning, such as visual impairment, or a diagnosed condition which requires additional or different support.

Should you be unhappy about your child’s provision and SEND support at Bentley New Village, please follow the steps below to action your thoughts.

1. Contact school to make an appointment to speak with Miss Houghton, should she not be available at the time of the initial call.
2. Attend the appointment (via phone or in person) with Miss Houghton and allow time for actions to be completed.
3. Should you still require further actions to be taken or should you be unhappy with the outcomes of prior meetings; Email admin@newvillage.doncaster.sch.uk to make an appointment with Mrs Simmons
4. Allow time for actions to be completed and further discussions to be held.
5. Should you then still be unhappy with the outcomes of the meeting please email the SEND governor (Mrs Sharon Golze) through the admin email address.
6. Further steps will be discussed at this point.
