Inclusion & SEND

We believe that all students should be equally valued and safe in school. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse learning atmosphere where everyone can flourish. In the LINC (Learning, Inclusion & Nurture Centre) we assist students with varied education, health and social care needs and help their parents/carers. We also support with social, emotional and mental health needs.

We address the various barriers to learning of all students ranging from:

Cognition and Learning
Communication and Interaction
Social, Emotional and Mental Health
Physical and Sensory Needs
Medical Conditions and Disabilities

Carolyn Haines – Student Welfare & Support Manager
Sally Montague – Senior Behaviour Manager/The Inclusion Centre
And our teams of Teaching Assistants, Behaviour and Engagement staff, English as Additional Language Specialists, Student Support, Administrative Support and numerous highly qualified external professional agencies.

The Inclusion Centre

In the Inclusion Centre, we work with selected students – in collaboration with their parents and teachers – to provide additional support to enable them to achieve their full potential and fully integrate into the Myton community.

We run:

social development courses to help our students grow as people
nurture courses for students in Year 7 and 8 to help them settle into life at Myton School and form relationships with their peers
extra sessions on key subjects to help reinforce students’ learning

Miss Montague and Mrs Dulley are both part of the school Safeguarding Team.

We are all Early Help trained in order to support families further inside and outside of school.

How we support social, emotional and mental health needs at Myton

At Myton we believe in promoting positive Mental Health and emotional wellbeing to ensure that the School is a community where everyone feels safe, supported and able to thrive.
