Support for emotional and social development

At Bridgtown Primary School, we are an inclusive school. We consult with a wide range of agencies and partnerships to ensure the Emotional and Social Development needs of SEN children are met. Staff understand the importance of Emotional and Social Development and aim to support and promote the emotional wellbeing of all children. On a daily basis the class teacher is responsible for the pastoral and social care of every child in their class, therefore this would be the parents’ first point of contact should further advice or support be required.

At Bridgtown Primary the SENCO (Miss Harrison) works with many children, parents and families to provide an additional layer of pastoral care. We have an open door policy and value our relationships with parents. Staff are available for short messages before school and longer chats after school by appointment.

Bridgtown Primary School has and maintains close links with agencies providing specialist expertise. In order to access the best professional advice, we also link with Local Authority and Private Providers of additional services, such as CAHMS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service), School Nursing Service, Social Services and Medical Professionals.
