SEND
Our SENCO
At Wheatcroft Primary, our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is Miss Glass. She works closely with children, families, and staff to make sure that pupils with additional needs receive the right support to thrive. Her role includes identifying individual learning needs, coordinating support plans, liaising with outside professionals, and ensuring that our provision is inclusive and accessible for every child.
TLC Lunch time Club
| Each lunchtime, we run a pastoral Lunch Club (TLC). Children attend TLC to help support their social and emotional development. At TLC, children will engage in a range of activities that may be artistic, musical or following their interests, but all activities will support the children to develop both socially and emotionally. |
