SEND is an acronym which stands for Special Educational Needs and Disability.
We believe in offering all our pupils a fully inclusive learning experience. We are committed to providing educational opportunities which will help all our pupils reach their full potential. Staff are well trained on how to make adaptations in class as well as using additional resources so that all are able to progress. Our class teachers meet with parents three times a year as part of the “Assess, Plan, Do, Review” process to discuss targets and progress made.
If you have any questions about your child’s special educational needs or disability please contact our SENCo, Mrs Laura Forster (senco@graveley.herts.sch.uk) or via the school office (admin@graveley.herts.sch.uk).

The Hertfordshire Local Offer
The Local Offer lets parents and young people know what special educational needs and disabilities services are available in Hertfordshire, and who can access them.
Families First is the term used in Hertfordshire for services that work together to support families who need extra help. These are also known as early help services.
We all experience difficulties at some point. Families First can help you find early help and information to prevent issues from getting worse.
If you need more help than your usual support network – for example your health visitor, school, doctor or family centre – Families First can work with you and your family to create a package of support.
Looked After and Previously Looked After Children
Mrs Hand is the ‘Designated Teacher’ for those children either currently being or having previously been looked after by the local authority. For information and resources to support your child’s education please visit the Hertfordshire Virtual School website.
Space are a Hertfordshire based charity, who support families of children and young people who are neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Tourette’s and other neurodiverse conditions.)
