Sam Beal (SENCo)
Chloe Warren (Deputy SENCo)
I’m Sam Beal and I am the special educational needs and disability coordinator (SENCo) at Compton Pre-school. My role is to oversee and coordinate any extra help that is needed by children at our setting, however large or small. My deputy is Chloe Warren and we are on hand at all times to answer your questions, listen to any concerns about your child’s progress, offer support and reassurance and help you to find information about anything that is important to you. Please feel free to speak to us, your child’s key worker or any member of staff.
If you would like to email me, you can do so at compton.preschoolplym@gmail.com

At Compton Pre-school and across Plymouth we follow something called the Graduated Approach to Inclusion (GATI). This is a guide which ensures that we are meeting the needs of a child with SEN in partnership with parents. If you would like to see what this entails, a link to the GATI can be found here:
