Grasmere's  Inclusion team 

Bianca is  our  Deputy Head for Inclusion and SEND.

At Grasmere we want to make sure that all  pupils are happy, secure and successful. Sometimes children or their families need extra help to make sure of this. The inclusion team organise and provide additional support for children, their parents and carers. We are also available to signpost families to external support and advice. 

Bianca work’s closely with class teachers to track your child’s progress in school and organise extra support if your child is falling behind. This support may be provided by adults in school or specialists from outside of school such as Speech and Language Therapists or Educational Psychologists. If you think your child may need additional support or if you are worried about your child’s progress please talk to the class teacher or Bianca. 

Our Inclusion team  support children in and out of class who are having difficulties with emotional regulation, behaviour, learning or need emotional support. Specially trained support staff deliver  groups to help children in areas such as managing emotions and developing their social skills; as well as providing one to one sessions for those children who need extra support to cope with challenges at school. Bianca also works with outside agencies and is able to offer support to families by signposting to relevant organisations and agencies. Our LEAP Education Welfare Officer,  also monitors children's attendance at school and liaises with the Education Attendance Services as required. 

We also  run academic interventions to support children who are struggling with particular areas of their learning. They also work with children who are working beyond the age expected standard to support their progress. 

Children’s attendance and punctuality is monitored each half term. Our admin team meet regularly with Bianca to discuss any concerns and provide support as needed.
