Our Vision for children with Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND) 

We are ambitious for all children with SEND. We want them to make excellent progress. This means they will know more, remember more and be able to do more, despite their SEND. We want to give them the knowledge and skills they need for their adult life. We think about both long and short term outcomes. 

In the long term outcomes, we want our children with SEND to: 

• ♦ have excellent basic skills (especially in reading, writing and maths) 
• ♦ have good friends and relationships 
• ♦ live a healthy and independent life 
• ♦ be successful in work 
• ♦ be a part of our local and Catholic community 

Every child with SEND can thrive with aspirations. Within our school, we have a set procedure for identifying and assessing the special needs of individual children which involves, at various stages, parents/carers, teaching staff, SENCO, external agencies and of course the children themselves.
