Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
At Swinton Fitzwilliam Primary, our vision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities is the same as for all children. We want them to achieve well in their early years, at school and lead happy and fulfilled lives.
Children and their families are at the centre of every decision we make and we aim to work collaboratively with all partners to achieve the best outcomes for our pupils.
Swinton Fitzwilliam Primary School is larger than the average-sized primary school with 316 children aged 3-11, currently on role.
The proportion of children with special educational needs and/or disability is above the national average but slightly below the average for Rotherham schools.
The proportion of children with an Education and Health Care Plan is below the National Average.
If you would like your child to attend Swinton Fitzwilliam, you can arrange a visit or discuss your child's needs with the SENDCo, Mrs Kristy Smith.
More information about Admissions can be found here.
Our SENDCo is Mrs Kristy Smith.
Our Inclusion Lead is Sarah Cullen.
Our SEND Governor is Catherine Hague.
More information about our offer for children with SEND can be found in our SEND Information Report. The report outlines how we identify and support children with SEND needs and who you can talk to for further information and advice about your child. This will help you to make informed decisions about their future.
