PeterchurchSpecial Educational Needs
The staff at Peterchurch primary school are dedicated to providing care and education to all pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
A child has special educational needs if he or she has difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for him or her to learn than most other children of a similar age. Many children will have an additional need of some kind during their education. Some children will need extra help and support from us for some or all of their time at Peterchurch primary school.
Mrs Ruth Green is the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo) at Peterchurch Primary School. Her contact number is 01981 550 230 or via email: rgreen@peterchurch.hereford.sch.uk

Sharing a book with a child is fun - it's a time for closeness, laughing and talking together. It can also give children a flying start in life and help them become lifelong readers. But not everyone is confident with books and reading aloud, so BookTrust has produced some handy tips and advice to help your child at home.
Lots of parents worry about their child’s reading. Parents can be pretty competitive and when you hear the playground chat about how well another child is doing with her reading, it’s easy to feel that your child might be getting left behind. It’s important to remember that reading isn’t a race. Being a good reader might be the finishing line, but children get there in many different ways and at different speeds. Here, reading expert Jean Gross CBE shares her advice and tips about how to support children who struggle with reading.
