Our Inclusion Team are responsible for ensuring that all children at Linden have the support that they need to achieve their full potential, have a positive experience at school and are equipped for life after Linden. The Inclusion Team cover a range of areas, including;
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
- Safeguarding (including looked after children)
- Attendance
- Pastoral provision
- Mental health (pupils, staff and parents)
- English as an additional language (EAL)
- Pupil Premium
Our Inclusion Team are always happy to discuss your child’s needs and will aim to, wherever possible, put extra support in place to address these needs, whether this is academic or linked to mental health and wellbeing.
You’ll find a range of resources and information on our website but if you have any further questions, or would like to discuss your child’s needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of the team, through the office, or speak to your child’s class teacher.
