Our SENDCo is Mrs Michele Parrett. Mrs Parrett is responsible for overseeing the provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and is also our lead for Inclusion in the school and nursery. Before training to become a teacher, Mrs Parrett worked as a 1:1 Learning Support Assistant for a child with SEND for many years, and has worked at specialist units as well as mainstream schools. Mrs Parrett taught for 7 years before becoming a dedicated SENDCo. Mrs Parrett also completed her National SEND Qualification in 2015.
Mrs Parrett works alongside Sophia Ahmed (Family Support Advisor), Theresa Granger (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant), teaching staff, parents and pupils to ensure the best possible outcomes for all children at Uplands. She can be contacted via the school office.
