Special Educational Needs
At Benington Primary, we want every child to feel happy, included and supported. If your child needs extra help with learning, communication, behaviour, or a physical need, we will work closely with you to put the right support in place.
Our SENDCo is here to listen, advise and guide you. Support may include small-group work, 1:1 help, or input from specialist services.
If you have any concerns about your child’s development, please speak to us — we’re here to help.
Our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator at Benington is Steven Musk
He can be contacted through the school office on 01438 869254
or emailed on senco@benington.herts.sch.uk
Our SEN governor is Laura Burt and she can be contacted at
laura.burt@benington.herts.sch.uk
We aim for all children to access the entire curriculum. We worked together to create barriers to learning documents to ensure that every child can achieve their best.
In line with the SEN Code of Conduct, please take a look at these guidelines and policies to see what the school will offer you and your child and how you can support your child by following these links.
