Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Hello, and a very warm welcome.

My name is Claire Davis, and I’m proud to be the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator here at Hagley Primary School.

My role as SENCo is to make sure that every child with additional needs receives the right support to thrive – not just in their learning, but in their confidence, friendships, and wellbeing. I work closely with our amazing teaching staff, support staff, and a range of outside professionals to ensure that we understand each child’s unique strengths and challenges.

At Hagley Primary School we believe that every child matters, and we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where all pupils can succeed. Whether your child has a diagnosed need, is being monitored for additional support, or simply needs a little extra help in the classroom, we’re here to listen and to help.

But we know that the most powerful support doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when we work together. That’s why we value your knowledge and understanding of your child as your insight is vital in helping us provide the most effective support. Whether it’s a quick chat after school, a meeting to review progress, or working together on an EHCP, we’ll keep you involved every step of the way.

We are proud of our inclusive ethos and the wide range of support we offer — from differentiated teaching and small-group interventions, to nurture provision, sensory regulation, and links with external specialists.

If you ever have questions, concerns, or would just like to know more about how we support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My door is always open.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about SEND at Hagley Primary School and I look forward to working with you and your child on their journey through school.
