5. What support will there be for my child

Wolverham is an inclusive school: we welcome and celebrate diversity. All staff appreciate the importance of children having high self-esteem in order to achieve positive well-being and we strive for children to feel safe and secure when in our care.

The class teacher has overall responsibility for the pastoral, medical and social care of every child in their class; this would be the parents’ first point of contact. Children who are allocated a 1:1 teaching assistant through additional funding, will also work closely with them. If further support is required, the class teacher can liaise with the SENDCO for further advice and support.

We currently have two learning mentors, Mrs P Walker and Mrs Collier. They work closely with many of our children and their families. They offer support and guidance to overcome barriers to learning and are highly regarded within the school community. They can be contacted through the school office.
