Gordano School has welcomed Sadik Al-Hassan, MP for North Somerset, for an insightful and productive discussion around the transformation needed to support all our young people getting the best start in life.

The conversation focused on the strategic changes required to ensure all SEND pupils receive the support they need to thrive. Key aspects discussed included the enhancement of SEND resources, additional staff training, and improved facilities.

Sadik also took time to meet with Gordano’s SEND team a tour of the facilities dedicated to SEND support. He engaged with students from a range of SEND backgrounds, listening to their personal experiences within mainstream education. The pupils shared their perspectives on what is working well and provided valuable recommendations for improvements, both within the school and on a national level.

Sadik said: “It was great to visit Gordano School to talk with teachers, students and SENCO staff about the transformation needed to support all our young people getting the best start in life.”

Louise Blundell, Headteacher said: “Gordano School continues to focus on developing our SEND provisions and ensuring that every student, regardless of their individual challenges, is given the opportunity to succeed and an inclusive environment in which to thrive.”
