Special Educational Needs and Disability

At Northfield we believe that all children are special, therefore all children have special needs.

This page aims to provide some information about SEND at Northfield.

Our SENCO is Miss V Jones. If you would like to contact the SENCO you can do so via the school office or via email senco@northfield.derbyshire.sch.uk.

Look under our support for parents header fo information about services that can support you as a parent of a child with SEN.
