For families wishing to further explore neurodiversity, school are able to support by jointly complete the Neurodevelopmental Profiling Tool (NDPT). The NDPT is the first step in identifying neurodiversity within children and young people aged 0 to 19 and can help identify what support a child or young person may need. It has been adopted by Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to support the early identification and early help of children and young people presenting with neurodevelopmental needs.
For more information about completing the NDPT or to discuss your child's neurodivergence, please contact their class teacher or Mrs Rawlings (Lead for Inclusion and SEND).
