She can be contacted by email: sen@water.lancs.sch.uk  or by ringing the school office on 01706 216414. Mrs. Edington completed her National Award for SEN Coordination in January 2017. She is the school’s SEN advocate as a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). The school's SEND Link Governor is Mrs. Lindsay Bevan. 

Water Primary School is a mainstream primary school. We believe that every teacher is a teacher of every child or young person, including those with SEND. If children are not able to ‘learn the way we teach’ then we must ‘teach the way they learn’. As a school we are committed to the belief that every child is an individual who brings something special to the school community.  All children, regardless of ability, background or ethnicity, have the right to participate in and enjoy all aspects of school life, and have the opportunity to meet their full potential.
