SEND team
Â
Here at Tower Hill we are fortunate to have an amazing team supporting our children and families.
Â
First meet our SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities Coordinator) Mrs C. Cartlidge. She has been with the school for many years supporting our children and families with special needs ensuring they get what the need to make progress here at Tower Hill.
Â
Mrs G. Meaney is our Family Support Link Worker. Her role is to ensure that our families stay connected to the school and is there for support and advice to ensure that our children get the best start in life, where possible.
Mrs Abby Amero is our Safeguarding Assistant. Her role is to support the Pastoral & Designated Safeguarding teams through managing information sharing and ensuring all paperwork is transferred appropriately at points when children join or leave Tower Hill. She also works closely with Mrs Cartlidge to support with any SEND needs and paperwork.Â
Â
Finally, Mrs Lee Bavastock is our Emotional Support Assistant. Her role is to work with children who need emotional support, this ranges from anxiety to bereavement and much more. Mrs Bavastock draws on a variety of techniques to help children build resilience and confidence. This includes helping children to develop strategies to manage their emotions, therapeutic art sessions and sometimes accompanying groups of children to Huckleberries Nurture Farm.
