SEN Parent Ambassadors
Yerbury has a small team of parents who run a network to help connect, and provide support to, parents and carers of SEN children. The group has its own page on the school’s Classlist.com community and a Whatsapp discussion group. You can sign up for the Yerbury pages here, and then search for ‘SEN’ to join the group and find out more, or contact the School Office on admin@yerbury.islington.sch.uk to be added to the Whatsapp group.
