At Manford we have an experienced and knowledgeable Assistant Headteacher who leads on the diagnosis, review and support for children who have, or may have Special Educational Needs. Her name is Miss T Osei and she is contactable through the school office (020 8500 2143).

Miss Osei supports children and their families when they have educational, physical or emotional needs which mean they need something extra or different from the rest of the class. Sometimes this is a short term need, for other children their needs are long-term.

Miss Osei works closely with many professionals: nurses, doctors, psychologists, health visitors and social workers as well as organisations such as Young Carers and Children's Centres to make sure everything possible is done to help children at Manford reach their potential.
