SEND
At In Toto Peterborough, our commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment is at the heart of our Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) provision. We are dedicated to ensuring that every student's individual needs, as outlined in their support plans and EHCPs, are fully met, enabling them to access the education they deserve.
SENCO-Led support and collaboration
Our SENCO plays a central role in coordinating the support for SEND students, working closely with parents, carers, and a range of professionals, including Educational Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, and ELSA practitioners.
The SENCO ensures that every aspect of our provision is tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, fostering a cohesive and inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive.
Comprehensive and personalised SEND offering
The SEND support at In Toto Peterborough covers the entire educational spectrum, ensuring that students with EHCPs receive the individualised care and attention they need.
Our SENCO collaborates with all members of staff to ensure that each student’s learning experience is aligned with their specific needs, promoting a supportive and understanding school community.
Empowering students to succeed
The SENCO-led approach at In Toto Peterborough is designed to empower students to achieve their goals, embrace their individual strengths, and appreciate the benefits of their neurodiversity.
We adhere closely to the 2015 SEND Code of Practice, ensuring that our practices are fully aligned with best standards and that every student is given the tools to succeed.
At In Toto Peterborough, our SENCO is at the forefront of creating an environment where every student’s unique needs are met, fostering their growth and success throughout their educational journey.
Meet: Nicole Farnham
Nicole is the SENCO in Peterborough, ensuring that our students have the correct support by monitoring offering, progress and attainment, and working closely with the school teaching team to identify any additional needs that are not already documented or supported.
The SENCO also works with staff to advise on strategies, signposting and resources to ensure high-quality support is provided for all of our students. Alongside this the provision listed within each student’s EHCP which is monitored by the SENCO and they support the deployment of this within the school.
Collaboration with students, parents, carers, and a broader support network is key to fostering successful futures for all our students. Our SENCO will attend students’ annual reviews providing feedback and next steps for students, helping to develop their pathway to adulthood. Where potentially beneficial, referrals are identified and agreed the school SENCO will often lead on these.
While Nicole will be your main point of contact for SEN, all of our staff are experienced in working with young people with complex needs.

Intervention
In Toto Ed Peterborough delivers interventions that meet the educational needs and experience of our students, offering them academic support through high quality first teaching, including interventions in both literacy and numeracy to develop their skills and knowledge.
Students are supported with their social and emotional needs through mentoring sessions, 1:1 and small group sessions, which help students manage a range of issues including: transitions, exam stress, emotional regulation as well as implementing behaviour strategies and pastoral interventions.
Students are also supported as they prepare for adulthood and life beyond school with sessions to develop their cookery skills, budgeting and money management, careers, health and fitness and travel training.
These multi-faceted intervention approaches help our students thrive both within the classroom and in future pathways.
