"At Upton Infant School we believe Inclusion is meant in the widest sense. It incorporates children and young people as well as the rights of parents/carers, students and all staff"  Please contact Mrs Dawson for further information or queries regarding SEND by contacting the school office via office@uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk.

Should parents of SEND parents make a formal complaint against the school (using the complaints policy) they will be offered support via SENDIAS and a governor will support them with the process.
