Inclusion
At Woodlands, we have an Inclusion Team to identify, support and monitor the needs of all children across all phases of the school. This team work closely together to offer a comprehensive package of support that encompasses both SEND needs and social and emotional needs. Inclusion Team meetings are held regularly to review, assess and monitor the needs of all children and to consider who and how to support emerging needs.
