SEND
Hadleigh Junior School works closely with other professional partners who regularly visit.
These include contact with the specialist teacher teams; speech and language therapists, educational psychologists and other therapeutic services. We also have access to a counselling service. These partners may be involved in working with your child, reporting to you and contributing to the overall plan for what your child needs.
Hadleigh Junior School is an active member of the local BATIC (Benfleet and Thundersley Inter- Cluster) group of schools. All of the schools within the group work closely and are committed to providing high quality education for all children with special needs and disabilities.
The local provision is similar and the schools, apart from the Special Schools, do not offer any specific specialism towards a particular type of SEND.

Complaints Procedure for SEND
The school follows a complaint procedure and this will be followed for any SEND complaints.
Complaints Policy and Procedure
If you have a query or complaint regarding your child and the support they receive for their special educational need or disability please initially contact the class teacher, either on the playground at the end of the school day or via the School Office. This query will then be discussed and resolved or passed on to the SENCO.
If you feel this issue has not been dealt with sufficiently or you still need further advice please inform the Headteacher.
