The Learning Support Department
Families are at the heart of the SEND provision at King Edward’s School.
We are committed to working in close partnership with families to co-produce support that meets each student’s individual needs, so that the student feels listened to and involved at every stage of the SEND process.
If your child is not currently on the SEND register but you have concerns about their learning, development, or wellbeing, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to listen, offer advice, and work with you to ensure your child receives the support they need to thrive
Our SEND policies can be found here: Policies – King Edward VI School
The SEND Local Offer can be found here: Suffolk SEND Local Offer
