Children with additional needs
We welcome all children at Victoria Park - and have experienced staff in place to support children with additional needs. If your child already has a diagnosed special need or disability or if you are concerned about their development, please let us know as soon as possible. This means we can have the right support in place for when your child starts at Nursery School. Our Local Offer SEND Information Report below has more information, and you are most welcome to arrange to meet our SENCo to discuss your child’s particular needs in detail. Our SENCo is Lara Pinnell and you can contact her by emailing office@victoriapark.w-berks.sch.uk.
Sometimes, having a child with additional needs impacts your life at home. If you feel you need support with specific parenting strategies or to access other help available in the local area, staff in the Family Hub will be able to help you. Contact them on 01635 41296 ext 207.
Most common at Nursery School age is that children need a bit of extra help with their communication and speech. We are very lucky to have 4 staff in school who have taken additional qualifiications in supporting children's communication, speech and langauge development, so we have lots of support available to you if you are concerned.
