As part of the changes within the Children and Families Bill, local authorities are required to develop a ‘Local Offer’, which will provide information for children, young people with special needs and disabilities (SEND) and their parents/carers in a single place, helping them to understand what services they and their families can expect from a range of local agencies.
For details of the Lincolnshire County Council local offer: click here.
Mrs Peach is the named school SENDCo. You can contact Mrs Peach on 01775 640357 or alternatively you may email Mrs Peach at senco@stbartholomews.lincs.sch.uk.
Dr Ellis is a Consultant Psychologist with 25 years of working in the NHS in children’s mental health services, as well as family experience of children with additional needs, and works alongside Mrs Peach and the Board of Governors as SENDCo Governor.

SENDCo Governor
The documentation below summarises the school’s SEND provision:
At St Bart’s, we value the importance of working closely together with families to support every child to thrive. Our SEND Cafés, which take place several times throughout the year, provide a welcoming opportunity for parents and carers to meet together, share experiences, ask questions and access support in an informal and friendly environment.
Our next SEND Café will take place on Friday 26th June at 1:30pm, where we are pleased to welcome a guest speaker from LPCF (Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum). LPCF is a local organisation that supports parents and carers of children with SEND by offering advice, information, workshops and opportunities for families to share their experiences and have their voices heard regarding SEND provision.
They will be joining us to talk in more detail about the support and resources available for families and answer any questions parents may have.
If you have a child in school with SEND, or care for another child with additional needs, we would love for you to join us. Please let the office know if you are planning to attend so that we can prepare accordingly.
If you are not already part of our SEND mailing list and would like to receive information about future SEND Cafés, local support services and useful opportunities for families, please contact the school office.
As always, if you would like to discuss your child’s needs or seek support, our SENCo, Mrs Peach, is available on Thursdays and Fridays or can be contacted via email at senco@stbartholomews.lincs.sch.uk
