SUPPORT AND INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES AND PARENTS OF PUPILS WITH SEND, ADDITIONAL NEEDS AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH DIFFICULTIES
Keep checking this page for new information from the school and Wiltshire's services
Summer Term 6 2025
Welcome back to Term 6, the last term of this academic year. We hope the half term holiday was all that your family wished for. Transitioning back to school after a holiday can be challenging for many pupils and therefore communication is the key. Some pupils need reassurance about the learning and or friendships, some need facts and dates shared and all need to feel heard. Please remember to communicate with your child's class teacher(s) to find the best fit for your child.
We have an 8 week term ahead, there is still lots of learning to be done, many activities, school trips and end of year celebrations. During the last term we experience goodbyes, the talk of new beginnings and plan ahead. Please engage in conversations with your children about changes; celebrate successes and find out as much information about the changes as possible. Where certainties can't be given we encourage you write a list of questions to be answered and a list of what stays the same and what is going to be different - this often supports our learners.
Please continue to use this site this term to support you and your child's needs. I will post new and relevant materials linked with SEND, additional needs, mental health and SEND Wiltshire support materials.
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 Thursday.
NB: I will be absent from work from the 29th June to 14th July 2025
