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
Autumn Term 1 2025
Welcome back to school! We hope the summer holiday was all that your family wished for. We especially welcome the new pupils to the school and wish them well for the term ahead. 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.
Please continue to use this site 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 on a regular basis.
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.
Mrs Jessica de Vries, Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Coordinator, Senior Mental Head Lead, Deputy Safeguarding Lead.
