Happy New Year to you all, 'A New Year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written'. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and found some time to rest a little. Please continue to use this site to support your needs and your child's needs.
I will continue to post new and relevant materials linked with Additional Needs, Mental Health and SEND Wiltshire support materials I encourage you to scroll down to the bottom of the page again as there are a number of materials from last year which continue to be useful.
As usual if you have any queries or questions about SEND at Durrington CE Junior School which can't be answered from reading our website, Facebook page or by reading our SEND Information Report, please don't hesitate to contact me at school Monday to Wednesday.
