SEND Coordinator
The Python Hill Academy is committed to providing an appropriate and high quality education to all the children living in our local area. We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life.
We believe that all children should be equally valued in school and ensure we develop an environment where all children can succeed.
If you have any worries about your child’s specific needs please talk to your child’s class teacher in the first instance. I am also happy to meet with you to help you to access the right service in the community. I am available every morning before school or every evening after school. Alternatively, please contact the school office to make an appointment.Â
A parent/carer, a young person in their own right, or any professional working with a child, young person or family can make a referral for an EHC Statutory Assessment, however it is usually expected that the following will apply:
If all other levels of support have been accessed by partners but the child/young person’s education is still being affected, then a referral for a statutory EHC Assessment can be made by contacting:

The SEND local Offer brings together helpful and useful information for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), from birth to 25 years, and their families. The information is contained within a website, which will enable you to search for services and provision within your own community and Nottinghamshire as a whole. This will cover public services that are available within:
It should also enable you to find out what support and services are available in the voluntary and private sectors, for example from charities and disability groups.
For general enquiries please contact Mrs A Taylor or Miss R Dawes
