SEND & Pastoral Information
At Kelsale CEVC Primary School, we strive to work together to meet the needs of all our pupils enabling them to shine. All of our staff are aware of SEND within the school and receive high quality information and training. It is our aim to quickly identify pupils who are making limited progress and provide personalised targeted interventions and support to meet their needs. We ensure that parents are fully aware of the SEND process and informed of their child’s learning at regular points throughout the year. We are a fully inclusive school and work alongside the Local Authority, Health Professionals and community organisations to find the most appropriate and effective support for pupils within our care.
Below are links to a range of documents which outline how school and home can support children and provide further information in relation to SEND and the processes.
If you have any concerns or wish to discuss SEND at our school, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Drawing and Talking Therapy
Drawing and Talking Therapy is about children having time to think and make sense of any emotions they may be feeling. It is non-confrontational and non-intrusive, child led support. It can help with a huge variety of issues that children may be dealing with from loss and bereavement to bullying to being a young carer. Drawing and Talking enables a child to express, in a visual form, worries from deep within the mind that they may not be able to talk about.
