Thank you to those who attended our Coffee Morning on Thursday 2nd February. We hope you found this useful in further understanding the provision and support available at Cypress Primary School for children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities). Thank you to Robyn and Lisa from ‘Love To Communicate’ for sharing their work at Cypress along with some useful information about supporting children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs.
