  Dear Parents and Carers,

  Please find below a message sent on behalf of Lancashire SEND Partnership. The surveys are open until the end of the Summer Holidays. 

   

  Dear Parents and Carers

  These surveys are for children and young people and their parent carers in Lancashire where the child or young person has Special Educational Needs (SEN) support needs.

   

  Your responses will be anonymous. It is your choice to answer any question or skip it.

   

  These surveys have been designed by Lancashire SEND Partnership to help us listen to children and young people (and their families) with different kinds of SEN. We want to understand what is important to children, young people and their parent carers to help us work more effectively with you.

   

  We'll publish the feedback from these surveys on the Local Offer: www.lancashire.gov.uk/SEND

• Thank You - Sayers at Sandy Lane

  Mon 03 Jul 2023 H.Wood

  Thank you - Sayers Sandy Lane 👑

   

  A few weeks ago, some children from Katie's class went to the local Sayers on Sandy Lane as they had contacted us to collect some donations that they allocated for our school charity fund.

   

  The staff were very friendly and interactive with our pupils and the children enjoyed engaging with members of the local community. Back at school, we made a thank you card for the staff at Sayers and we returned a few days later to present it to them. The staff were pleased to see the children back and touched by the handmade card.
