Merstham Primary School's New SEND Newsletter
As Assistant Head and SENCo I am keen to support families of children with Special Educational needs keep abreast of new developments and sources of help and advice. This new half-termly Newsletter will aim to do just that. Although focused on SEND updates many of the signposting will be of benefit to the wider school community and therefore I hope it will be of interest to many of you. Should there be anything of specific interest please do drop me a message and I will aim to include information in a future newsletter!
