Helpful links

As a parent, there are ALWAYS times where you will question yourself, or not know where to find the answers - this is especially true with SEND. At St. Giles', we have worked alongside parents of the school to find useful websites that have information to help with any processes or questions that you may have. As always, please ask the school too!
