At Hazlewood, we aim to actively support our children and families on a daily basis, please make an appointment for a chat, we can also sign post you to other agencies for support if and when appropriate.
If you would like to arrange to meet Miss.Smith then please contact the school office on 0191 917 8545.

Hazlewood Community Primary School is a fully inclusive school who ensures that all pupils achieve their potential personally, socially, emotionally, physically and educationally. Our Local Offer lets you understand how we support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. We consult with pupils and their families on our Local Offer by meeting with parents regularly through SEN reviews, parents’ evenings and informal meetings. These can be prompted by parents, teachers or external professionals.
The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Local Offer sets out the support and services that are available for children and young people aged 0-25 years across North Tyneside.

This online video will explain the role of the SENDCo as well as the role of other professionals, who may come into our school to support a child.
Pupils with SEND are well supported in this inclusive school. Leaders are focused on accurately identifying any additional needs pupils may have. Leaders carefully check that the right support is in place to help the pupils access their learning. As a result, pupils with SEND achieve well from their starting points and enjoy learning alongside their classmates.
