Our SENDCO is Mrs Mehta who can be reached by emailing hiral.mehta@langshott.surrey.sch.uk. She works 3 days a week.

Langshott Primary School is committed to providing an inclusive and broad education for all children in accordance with SEND 14 reforms. Special needs vary in nature and, if your child is identified as having additional requirements, appropriate provision will be made within the constraints of our present budget. Provision maps showing how we meet the needs of all children at Wave 1, school support at Wave 2 and personalised support at Wave 3 are found on the website (please see below for the model).

The school’s local offer and response to the 14 questions are also on the school website.  At all times, you will be kept fully informed about the support that is being made available and the procedures involved.

There is a named SEND Coordinator (Mrs Mehta) and a member of the Governing Body is nominated as having specific responsibility to ensure that the school’s policy is reviewed and that all support is appropriate to meet the needs of each identified child.

We also recognise and support children who are acknowledged as being most able. Such children may be in one or many subjects and opportunities are created to ensure that different groups of children can flourish.

For admissions to Langshott relating to children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities please refer to the Surrey admissions policy followed by our school.

The Local Offer 

What is the Local Offer?

The LA Local Offer:

• The Children and Families Bill became enacted in 2014. From this date, Local Authorities and schools are required to publish and keep under review information about services they expect to be available for the children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) aged 0-25. This is the ‘Local Offer’.
• The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. It will also be an important resource for parents in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area.
• Further information about Surrey County Council's Local Offer can be found on their website.
