Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND)
Please click on image above to open the 2025-26 SEN Information Report
Maple Infants’ School is dedicated to providing the best possible support for children with Special Educational Needs or a Disability (SEND). We pride ourselves on working closely with children, their parents/carers and with outside agencies to support their needs.
The leader for SEND at Maple Infants’ School is Mr Oliver Wood. He can be contacted via the school office or by emailing senco@maple.rbksch.org.
A copy of our 2025-26 SEND Information Report can be found above. All schools produce an Information Report in the form of questions and answers. This report will allow parents/carers to understand more about how we support children with SEND in every school in their area and help them to make an informed decision about the school that can best support the needs of their child. These answers are reviewed annually.
We would, however, also encourage you to make a visit to school to discuss the particular needs of your child should you require any further information.
You can find out more information on the Local Offer for children with SEND at the Achieving for Children website:
