Special Educational Needs at the Young Women's Hub

On this page you will find information on the support we provide for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We hope you will find this information useful and that it will give you a clear understanding of how we support students with SEND throughout their learning journey at the Hub and into further education or employment.

At the Hub we believe that all students should be provided with a safe environment in which they enjoy learning and make outstanding progress. If any problems arise, they will be dealt with promptly and in partnership with the students and their parents/carers.

Our Special Educational Needs department can be contacted by:

 SENCO Mrs E Quartey  Equartey@ywh.org.uk

We have an extensive offer of support available to all students on the SEND register. We call them interventions and these can happen during lessons and lunchtimes. Some are offered as a small group and others are 1:1.

These interventions include word awareness, Lego therapy and zones of regulations as well as the work of the speech and language therapist.

 Please do not hesitate to contact the inclusion team if you need further information or you want to discuss any concerns around your child’s additional needs .
