At Drake Primary School, we want all children to meet their full potential by receiving high quality, adaptive teaching and individualised provision.
At our school, we want all of our children to meet their full potential by receiving the right amount of support and challenge. Sometimes children may need additional support to do well. We take a whole school approach to ensure that all children have the support and guidance they need.
The school SENDCo, Megan Stuart, works closely with the Pastoral Team, school leaders, class teachers, parents and other professionals.
