As part of the playgroup’s policy to make sure that its provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any special needs which a child may have. The playgroup works to the requirements of the Education Act 2002, The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2001) and Disability Discrimination Act 2005. The role of Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is shared by the Manager, Celia Mills and Anna-Maria Turner who work closely together with the parents, keyworker and relevant multi agency teams to ensure that the most appropriate help is provided. St John’s has for many years provided extensive help to children with additional needs. We pride ourselves on our work with all children and our aptitude for obtaining specific help for those children whose needs require extra support.
