At Penruddock Primary School we are committed to working with our partners in a number of other agencies to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and their families.

Our SEN Information report is reviewed annually and included within our Inclusion Policy.

The school's SENDCo is Mrs Hazel Johnson (Headteacher) and can be contacted via the school office on admin@penruddock.cumbria.sch.uk

Westmorland & Furness SEND Local Offer

Penruddock Primary School SEND Local Offer

Westmorland and Furness Local Offer website provides a wealth of information to support families who have a child or young person with SEND and provides links to a whole host of agencies who can offer support to our families.

If we feel that your child would benefit from support from other local agencies, we may ask you to discuss an "Early Help Assessment" for your child. This is a supportive process which will involve school, the family and external agencies in order to provide the highest level support for your child. The link Early Help will provide more information about the early help process and how we can work with you to ensure that your family are at the heart of any decisions made about your child's learning.

Other agencies offering support to families within the local area include:

Barnardos offer play activities, adult and family learning courses and activities for children with additional needs. Contact: enquiries.eden@barnardos.org.uk

East Cumbria Family Support have the capacity to support families within their own home and also offer group activities for children and/or their parents. Contact:info@eastcumbriafamilysupport.org.uk
