Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Welcome to our SEND pages. We hope you will enjoy reading about the variety of ways in which Exning Primary School is able to support students with a range of SEND to reach their full potential. If you have been directed to these pages because your child has recently been diagnosed with a Special Educational Need or Disability, we would like to begin by saying, "Don't panic." Although this will be a new and potentially daunting experience for many of you, we are here to help and support both you and your child in any way that we can.
