At Lee Brigg Infant & Nursery School, we are committed to supporting every child so they can achieve their full potential. High-quality teaching and rich learning experiences help children develop new skills, build knowledge, grow in independence and foster a love of learning. We recognise that some pupils may need additional support at times, and we are dedicated to providing what they need to succeed.
Inclusion is at the heart of our school. We work tirelessly to remove barriers, value each child as a unique individual and ensure they have the very best opportunities. We also believe in supporting families, offering a range of guidance and help for parents. With high expectations for all, we place each learner’s needs at the centre to help every child shine.

SENART
SEN Assessment and Review Team (SENART) leads on the statutory processes of implementing and monitoring Education Health and Care Plans. This includes ensuring that assessments of Special Educational Needs are progressed in line with statutory time scales. The service works with families, young people, schools and other agencies to ensure that advice is gathered and EHC plans are completed accurately and reviewed appropriately. This is done through providing advice and guidance on the statutory processes. SENART facilitates the multi-agency EHC panel to consider and implements EHC Assessments and Plans and allocates levels of support and funding for children and young people with EHCPs. SENART also ensures effective commissioning of post-16 places for High Needs Learners and provision for out of district placements.

Family Hubs
Wakefield Council is working with its partners, including the police, the NHS and Community and Voluntary Sector Organisations to provide more integrated, joined up, and community based services for families with children and young people pre-birth to 19yrs and 25yrs where there are Special Educational Needs or Disabilities. This is being done through the creation of 7 ‘Early Help Hubs’ across the district, which offer a range of services for families and will intervene to help those who need support, at the earliest opportunity.
