At Perranporth School we ensure that all children are supported with both pastoral and academic needs. We provide pupils with Support Plans to support them in their learning and help them to become more independent learners. We value input from parents and the pupils themselves.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me (Nadia Lampier, SENCo) at school to discuss any questions you may have about your child’s learning. I am available on Thursday or Friday (ring the school office for an appointment).
Perranporth School is an inclusive school and may offer the following range of provision to support children with SEND
This website includes all the support that is available to children and young people in Cornwall (age 0 to 25) with special needs and/or disabilities and their families. Email localoffer@cornwall.gov.uk or telephone 01872 323535
What is the admission criteria for children with SENd?
Places will first be offered to children with a Statements of Special Educational Needs or Education Health and Care Plan which names the school. These children will be included in the overall admission number of the school.
The Governor responsible for SEN provision is Mrs Helen Goodey. We are always happy to listen and talk to parents about our graduated response to SEN provision and how best we can support individual children in achieving to the best of their ability. We work closely with a wide range of external agencies to enhance our provision and ensure the most appropriate strategies are in place to enable learning.

The LSCB is an inter-agency forum for agreeing how the different services and professional groups should co-operate to safeguard children in the area, and for making sure that arrangements work effectively to bring about good outcomes for children.
The LSCB has a comprehensive website detailing their work and offering useful advice: Local Safeguarding Children Board web site. Please do not contact the LSCB if you wish to report an incidence of abuse or neglect, please contact the Multi Agency Referral Unit (MARU) on: 0300 123 1116
