Inclusion & SEND
Students with SEND are taught in mainstream and mixed-attainment classes; the curriculum is differentiated to meet the individual needs of students. Support is given in the form of teaching assistant in-class support, mentoring or through one to one/small group interventions outside the classroom such as literacy, numeracy, social skills, speech and language or with outside agencies.
The SEND Co-ordinator is Siân Thomas.
If you wish to contact the SEND Co-ordinator please email learningsupport@qpcs.brent.sch.uk.

QPCS SEND Parent and Carer Forum Mission Statement
Our aims are:

- to work with QPCS to consult on policies and co-create procedures to benefit all SEND students or those who have additional needs, to support and challenge the school, to be solution-focused and to be a collective voice for SEND parents and carers.
