Children are regularly assessed and if they are found to have particular educational needs they are given further support from specially qualified members of staff who work throughout the school.
Reports
Children’s progress is closely monitored and parents are kept informed via written reports and parents’ evenings. Staff welcome parents who wish to discuss their child’s education and welfare at any time during the academic year.

South Lee colours are maroon and grey. The PTA runs a second hand uniform shop at the school so that parents can easily source items of uniform.
