We hope that you are all keeping safe and well. Please see below an invitation to discuss Dental Services for young people with SEND:


Thank you to those of you that took the time to complete the SEND parent questionnaire. It has now closed and following the feedback you have given there have been a few common threads that I would like to address:

Communication with staff
Normally we would be happy to hold meetings with parents to discuss any concerns or issues. Although we can't currently invite you into school if you have a specific question or query please email or phone the school office who will ensure the message reaches the class teacher(s). Please always contact the class teacher before the SENDCO as they are often best placed to answer your queries.

One Page Profiles and Holistic Action Plans
These have been shared with you via email and we would appreciate your comments in the family section. If you need to discuss these documents please contact the class teachers via the office. 

Support at home
The ways in which you can support your child at home are indicated on your child's holistic action plan.

Outside agencies
Outside agencies will only be involved if your child's specific needs warrant it. Any reports produced will be shared with you. For many children with SEND they will not require additional support from external agencies. 

SENDCO involvement
If your child is requiring support that is additional to and different from that of their peers their class teacher will consult with you to identify their needs. As the SENDCO I will support the teachers with relevant strategies and advice. Often I will contact you to discuss your child's needs, but this won't always be the case. Initially the main communication will come from the class teachers. 

Some of you expressed specific queries in the comments section, but is has been difficult to follow these up or respond as the comments were anonymous. If you would like to discuss your comments further please email me at sendco@mulbartonprimary.norfolk.sch.uk

Summer News

During this summer term the children have enjoyed a variety of events such as The Norfolk Show, Sports Day and the Summer Fayre, as well as school trips. Whilst these days are enjoyable, for some children, these events and the change to routine can be very unsettling and induce anxiety. Thank you for working with us to support your child. The children have been amazing, and overcoming their fears has allowed them to create some special memories.  The children are beginning to think about their next class, so I wanted to take the opportunity to outline SEND transition arrangements. Depending on your child's needs, they will take part in some or all of these  transition activities.  Transition Days- 14th and 15th July. Children will arrive in their classes in the morning. They will be told by their current teacher, who their next teacher(s) will be. The children will then move to spend the day in their new classroom.  Some children with SEND who find transition very challenging will

We have had a successful start to term and we have been very proud of the way that the children have transitioned back after the holidays.  We have recently had some questions regarding our Nurture provision. We are lucky to have a wonderful Nurture team led by experienced practitioners.  In our school Nurture is used as an umbrella term. Within the Nurture team a variety of different interventions are run from Zones of Regulation to Lego Therapy. The team work with children individually and in small groups. They also work with children to help them manage their worries and anger. We are led by the needs of the children at the time.  The children attending nurture are identified by the class teacher and following a conversation with the Sendco we contact parents regarding the suggested provision. The sessions are usually held once a week.  If your child is experiencing overwhelming anxiety that is only presenting outside of school, then Just One Norfolk have some useful resources on th
