SEND Offer at St Helen’s CE Primary School
At St Helen's CE Primary School, we value all God's children and ensure that those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) get the support they need to make progress in a caring and fully inclusive environment. Our SEND provision provides opportunities for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities to access a curriculum specifically tailored to their needs to give them self-confidence in order to maximise their potential and work independently. We provide support for pupils across the four areas of need as laid out in the SEND Code of Practice 2014:
- Communication and interaction
- Social, emotional and mental health difficulties
- Sensory and/or physical needs
- Cognition and learning
The school has a named Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), Miss Threadgold, and a named Governor responsible for SEN, Mrs Holmes.
If you have any queries, Miss Threadgold can be contacted through the school office on 0161 7752935 or by email sthelensprimary@ldst.org.uk . Concerns about statutory assessments of special educational needs should be raised direct with local authorities.
