Specialist Services
Teaching and support staff work closely with relevant members of specialist services which provide support for our school. At Gosbecks Primary School we have access to Speech and Language therapists, Educational Psychology services, Inclusion partner, Occupational Therapy, home school liaison worker, our well-being hub, POWER, Affinity programme, social care, school nurse and Family Solutions. Each service has referral and eligibility criteria - this means that service support is targeted on children with higher levels of need. We will always involve you in any decisions about whether your child has a special educational need and the best ways to provide support. If your child requires these services we will involve you in the process and will ask you to sign a referral form before the support can go ahead.
