How can you help your child?
A positive partnership between school and home is very important in helping all children and especially those who have been identified as having a Special Educational Need. Through this partnership a more complete picture can be built up of the child, their strengths and weaknesses and any patterns of behaviour. This partnership also means that there is a consistency in how the child is helped, and a hopefully seamless flow from home to school, and vice versa, can be created. The class teacher and SENCo are always there to support parents in supporting their child and can be contacted via the office or directly using their email. (senco@cheadle-jun.stockport.sch.uk)
Tips for supporting your child with homework at home
Always encourage your child to read for pleasure and visit the local library. Sharing books and reading to them at bedtime is really important.
