Verity Howell is our SENCo. She is responsible for assisting class teachers to identify those children who may need extra support. Her role involves working with children, teachers, parents and outside agencies such as the school nurse, speech therapists and educational psychologists. She works with teachers to analyse progress and data, in this way it is hoped that all children at our school will meet their potential, if not exceed it.
If you need to contact our SENDCo, please ring the school office or email vhowell@melbourne-inf.derbyshire.sch.uk
