All children and young people are entitled to an education that enables them to make progress so that they achieve their best, become confident individuals living fulfilling lives and make a successful transition into adulthood, whether into employment, further education or training.

Ashfield School is fully committed to the inclusion of students with SEND providing that the School is compatible for the child’s age, ability and aptitude and that their attendance is not incompatible with the efficient education of other students in the School and is an efficient use of the Local Authority’s resources.

Ashfield’s dedicated SEND team are:

Rachel Burgoyne: SENCO (4 days per week)

Katie Finch: SENCO (1 day per week)

Our SEND team can be contacted via email: SENDCO@ashfield.ttct.co.uk

We also have a team of highly trained and qualified Teaching Assistants who help SEND students by delivering targeted interventions, providing in-class support and acting as key-workers.
