SEND and Inclusion
At Stimpson Avenue Academy we have a graduated approach to SEND, ensuring early identification of needs and a continuum of support for children in order to enable them to make progress.
Please view the documents below for more information about our Special Educational Needs provision.
Our SENCo is Carol Hamblett and she can be contacted by emailing carol.hamblett@stimpson.emat.uk.

Courses for parents
The Inclusion and Intervention Support Team (formerly SEND Support Service) supports children and young people aged 0–19 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across West Northamptonshire. It offers two distinct services:
- Early Years (0–5 years)
- School Age (5 –19 years, Year 1- Year 13)
- Both include a family offer and aim to build inclusive practice, model interventions, and support transition.
