Welcome Becky
Thu 11 Sep 2025Welcome back to the new school year everyone. Hope you all had a great few weeks and enjoyed the sunshine. We want to welcome Becky Butler to the SAP team. Becky has joined us as our new Family Support Worker, working with us 3 days a week. Many of you will already know Becky as she was SENCO and assistant head at Welbeck Federation in Meden Vale. Becky is continuing in her role as Meden Family SENCO alongside her new role for SAP. We are so pleased to welcome her to the team and excited to know that Becky will be bringing so much knowledge, passion, experience and expertise to her role. Becky will be spending some of her time in the first few weeks shadowing SAP team members so she gets to see all aspects of our work - I know you will make her feel welcome if you see her in your school.

New referral pathway
Tue 03 Jun 2025We have made some changes to the way schools request access to interventions funded by SAP and allocated through the SAP Panel. Please send all requests to our new email address
referralssap@churchvale.notts.sch.uk. We also have a new referral form which replaces the paperwork for each individual intervention. There is now one referral form for all interventions and a section for schools to select the intervention being requested. You can find the new form on this website by visiting the counselling page or Dukeries equine sessions page.
We hope these changes will simplify the system for schools and the SAP team.

Introducing ........The Hive

We have an open session on 31st Jan 3.30-5pm so you can come along and visit The Hive to see our room and resources.
