Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

At Haydock English Martyrs’ we value each and every child and strive to meet the needs of all through a rich and varied curriculum. If you are concerned about your child or feel that they have a special educational need or disability, please speak to their class teacher in the first instance. Extra support is provided by Mrs Webster, the SENDCO and Mrs Gokoglu, the Learning Mentor. They can be contacted by ringing the main school office on 01942 723552
