Children with SEND

Here you will find some resources and websites which you might find useful during this unusual period. The main priority is your happiness and your child’s happiness so please do not stress about them completing the work set! If your child is struggling with the work their teacher has set feel free to look at other year group’s work as this might be more appropriate.
