Equality Information
Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Information
The Cobbs Infant and Nursery School is committed to inclusion and equal opportunities. Our provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities reflects that commitment. For more information on the support we can offer children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, see Our SEND Information. Also, please refer to the SEND Information Report below and the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Policy and the Equality Policy and Accessibility Plan below in the School Statutory Policies section.
School Complaints Procedure
For more information, see the Complaints Procedure Policy below in the School Statutory Policies section.
The complaints procedure for special educational needs mirrors the school’s other complaints procedures. Should a parent or carer have a concern about the special provision made for their child they should in the first instance discuss this with the class teacher. If the matter is not resolved satisfactorily parents have recourse to the following:
- discuss the problem with the SENDCO,
- discuss the problem with the Headteacher,
- parents are informed about Information Advice and Support Services (formerly Parent Partnership),
- more serious on-going concerns should be presented in writing to the SEND Governor, who will inform the Chair of the Governors or School Adviser.
