A Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCO) co-ordinates and monitors the SEN provision in the school.

The SENCO at Sandwich Infant School is Miss Leanne Bennett. She is a qualified teacher and took up the post of SENCO in September 2017. She gained the National Award for SEN coordination in 2014. Leanne can be contacted on 01304 613358 or SENCO@sandwich-infant.kent.sch.uk.


Teaching staff monitor the progress of all children very carefully, and if it is considered that a child needs additional support, support is put into place.  Parents are consulted and kept informed at all times.  If concerns continue then other appropriate support agencies and are consulted.
