- **4/5** — A School That Caters to Different Learners: I have a child who has SEN needs and was a bit apprehensive about joining Swanton Morley VC Primary School. However, the staff were incredibly supportive and accommodating, and my child thrived in their care. The school's SENDCo, Mr Kearse, was a godsend - he was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. While there were some minor issues with communication, I overall had a positive experience and would recommend the school to other families. *(Mar 2021)*
