SENCo/Deputy Head Mrs Hunter
Hello Everybody! I am the SENCO and Deputy Head Teacher here at Abacus.
I feel privileged to work in a school who value and support their children so well, including children with SEND.
Since I qualified as a teacher in 1999 I have worked in Wickford teaching in all year groups. For the last 6 years as SENCo, and since January 2023 as Deputy Head and SENCo here at Abacus.
As a mum of 3 children, one with SEN, I am absolutely passionate about supporting not only children with additional needs, but their families too.

Celebrating Inclusion at Abacus Primary School
In June 2026, Abacus Primary School welcomed a Local Authority Inclusion Review, led by Martine Mackman, Education Inclusion Lead. The review provided a valuable opportunity to celebrate our inclusive practices and showcase the many ways we support all children to feel happy, safe, valued and successful. We are incredibly proud of the positive findings, which highlighted our strong commitment to inclusion, positive relationships, excellent communication with families, pupil voice and the wide range of opportunities available to our children.
