Emma Leyboune
SENCo
Hi, I’m Emma Leyboune, the SENCo at FAR. I’m here to make sure every student gets the right support to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
You’ll find me in my office (usually under a pile of paperwork!) or around college, popping into lessons and checking in with students.
My approach is shaped by both personal and professional experience, and I’m passionate about making sure every young person feels understood, supported and empowered.
My door’s always open if you need a chat or have any questions!

Hayley Lawn
Family Liaison
Hi, my name is Hayley Lawn, and I am the Family Liaison Officer (FLO) at FAR. I am here to listen and support students and parents/carers with any questions that need answers! Young people’s wellbeing is at the centre of my role as FLO. Should any concerns arise within college or personal difficulties, I am here to listen, support and offer advice/signposting. I work closely with our SENCo and together we aim to help you with any questions you may have regarding your young person’s EHCP and education.
