Parent Survey Comment
'We, as a family feel supported by Penns. When our child experiences difficulties during the school day, the school supports him in a positive way with clear goal expectations. We have been supported when experiencing 'school refusal' so that he can get into school when he is ready to learn. He feels safe at Penns and is finally enjoying school again - thank you to all'
At Penns Primary School we strive to support all children to enable them to achieve to the best of their ability. In order to do this, many steps are taken to support them through their learning journey. Quality first teaching is vital; however for some children there are occasions when further positive support may be needed to help them to achieve their targets. The information provided on these pages is intended to explain to you the provision Penns Primary has made and will continue to make, for pupils with SEND. It also details the Birmingham Local Offer which is a list of all services that can be accessed in the Local Authority, where Penns Primary School is a part of that offer.
If you have a concern about your child, please do not hesitate to contact our SENDCo: Mrs K Doogan or alternatively email her on: senco@pennsji.bham.sch.uk
