About our school
St Mary's CE School is a mainstream school which provides for children with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities including those with:
Where children are identified as needing additional learning or behavioural support, the school adheres to the SEND Code of Practice. We ensure that each child's needs are individually and appropriately catered for, and that any relevant outside agencies are involved in providing guidance and support.
We assess all children regularly and plan for their provision in class and any additional interventions in a smaller group. This is recorded in a Pupil Profile. For those on the SEND register progress is reviewed and outcomes agreed three times in the school year with parents and children.
We aim to work closely with parents and children, respond to any concerns and celebrate achievements. In a small number of cases where there is still a lack of progress, perhaps where there are more complex needs and a range of external agencies the school may apply for an Education Health and Care Plan.
