Special Educational Needs

Our Special Educational Needs Department is led by our dedicated Learning Support Co-ordinator (SENCo) and Senior Teacher Mrs Lynn Kerr.

In September 2020, Mrs Kerr received a Pearson Silver Award for Excellence in Special Needs Education.

Mrs Kerr is devoted to ensuring that the learning experience for all pupils with SEN is inclusive and that barriers to learning are minimised. She’s a member of the British Psychological Association and holds a Certificate of Competence in Psychometric Testing, Assessment and Access Arrangements, and has completed a Masters of Education with SEN through Ulster University.

We want all pupils to make continual progress regardless of their individual needs during their time at Integrated College Glengormley. So there is a strong focus on pupil strengths, and partnerships with parents are also a key part of the support network.
