Ormsgill School’s SENCO Hannah Crook has secured £2,000 of additional funding to help continue to improve provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities.

The funding is the top level that can be awarded from Westmorland and Furness Council’s SEND Inclusion Fund Application and will be used to help support speech and language and social and emotional needs of the children.

Headteacher Mick Cull said Hannah went the extra mile for the pupils.

“She works so hard on the paperwork side of things and securing this funding really makes it easier to help our most vulnerable children.”

Hannah, who is a member of the SCMAT SEN Professional Network, said: “It’s just about getting what we need for our children, we already put so much into them so any extra we can give them is always a bonus!”
