SEND

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School is a fully inclusive school ensuring that all pupils achieve their potential - personally, socially, emotionally, physically and educationally.

​

The Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice, SEND is defined as:

 

A child or young person has a SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.

 

A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:

• has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age,

or

• has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions

​

Here at St Mary’s, we follow an assess-plan-do-review approach. We assess to see whether a pupil needs some additional support, we plan suitable interventions/ support/ strategies for that pupil, we carry out and monitor those interventions/ support/ strategies and then review them to see what impact they have made. This is a continuous cycle.
