Our emails are now back up and running. Should any further issues arise on Monday, we will contact parents/carers directly and share updates via our social media channels and here on our website.
An Inclusive School
Together, we learn better.
In the SEND Code of Practice (2015) it states that:
‘All teachers are teachers of pupils with special educational needs.’
The University of Birmingham School is an inclusive school that delivers Quality First Teaching by subject staff who have a keen awareness of a range of special educational needs, medical needs and disability. Parents/Carers are a vital part of our inclusive practice and we always seek to work as a cohesive team: young person, parents, staff.
Our SEND/Inclusion Team
Our subject staff are supported to achieve the aims of the SEND Code of Practice by our Inclusion team:
- Miss K Poulton – Assistant Principal (Inclusion & SENDCO).
- Mr L Beddow – Assistant SENDCO.
- Mr D Hale – Learning Coach (Communication & Interaction).
- Miss E Walker – Learning Coach (SEMH).
- Mr S Mozumder – Learning Coach (Literacy, Numeracy, Speech, & Language).
Any parent or carer with queries can contact the School’s SENDCO, Miss Poulton by emailing her at k.poulton@uobschool.org.uk or calling her via the main School number on 0121 796 5000.
