SEND
This page has been designed to help you understand how we support children with SEND in our school, who to speak to if you have concerns about your child, and how we identify needs and monitor progress. It also provides a clear overview of our SEND policy, along with information about other sources of support and guidance.
Harnham Junior School has an excellent reputation for supporting individual children in ways that maximise their learning and development.

At Harnham C of E Junior School, we are committed to providing a caring, safe, and inclusive environment where every pupil, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), can thrive. We believe in high-quality teaching that helps all pupils achieve their best, build confidence, and prepare for a successful future.
We recognise that many children may experience additional needs at some point during their school life. Through the implementation of our SEND policy, we aim to provide the right support to help them overcome these challenges.
Concerns about your child:
If you are concerned about your child, please speak first to their class teacher. The best way to make contact is via email through the school office. You can also contact our SENCO, Mrs Trish Winters, for further support. To contact Mrs Winters, please email: sendep@harnham-jun.wilts.sch.uk, call the main school office on: 01722 327218 or use the concerns form below.
Our approach to Inclusion:
At Harnham C of E Junior School, we follow a graduated cycle of Assess, Plan, Do, Review to tailor support to each pupil’s needs.
Our SEND provision aligns with the four broad areas of need outlined in the SEND Code of Practice:
· Cognition and Learning
· Communication and Interaction
· Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)
· Sensory and/or Physical Needs
We work closely with parents, pupils, and external specialists to ensure effective support and regular progress monitoring.
If a child is on the SEN register, parents and the pupil themselves are involved in at least three meetings per year to review progress, set outcomes, and plan next steps.
Each child who has been identified with SEND will be provided with a Provision Map. Please click here for our universal, targeted and personalised offers for all pupils.
