SEND Support

Our aim is to encourage everyone who attends Mepal and Witcham CofE Primary School to CARE for themselves, others and the wider world.

If you are worried about your child, talk to someone you trust such as your doctor, health visitor, teacher at your child's school as soon as possible. They will be able to listen to your concerns and begin the process of identifying how to help you and your child.

SEND Service

SEND Service (0-25) is a local authority service, delivered in three areas across Cambridgeshire. They work in schools and settings with children and young people (0-25 years) and their parents/carers, providing targeted support and training in all aspects of Special Educational Needs (SEN). The main aim is to help meet the needs of children and young people within their local community. The team aims to help children and young people with SEND to progress with their learning, as well as their emotional and social development.

The SEND Service (0-25) is delivered in three geographical areas; each area is divided into teams made up of:

  • Team leader, who has operational management of the multidisciplinary team
  • Educational psychologists
  • Specialist teachers
  • Specialist practitioners

The Sensory Team is also part of the SEND Service (0-25) and is managed centrally (not divided into the area teams). 

Our Commitment To SEND

At our school we are committed to working together to meet the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs, to ensure that all children, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school.

The needs of pupils with a Special Educational Need/s are met within the classroom or small group work. Our SEN information Report has been produced with members of staff and will be reviewed annually with the help and guidance of parents, governors and pupils. Please see below link to view the report in full.


Name of SENCO: Mrs J Maginnis

Name of Head: Mr C Snuggs


If you think your child may have SEN, please speak to their class teacher, SENCO or contact the school office to make an appointment on 01353 778 300.
