SEND Vision
We are proud of our inclusive and supportive ethos. We ensure that all children are treated equally and fairly. The broad, balanced and creative curriculum we deliver inspires children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disability, to achieve their potential both academically, emotionally and socially. We value all children and provide opportunities to celebrate their achievements.
We recognise that all teachers have a responsibility to ensure children with SEND feel included and supported. We work together as a team to promote and support our seven school strengths; resilience, ambition, creativity, kindness, empathy, responsibility, honesty. These strengths are addressed throughout the school curriculum and reinforced during collective worship. They are connected to our school motto and aims.
‘Let your light shine.’

SEND Coffee Morning (21/02/2024)
Thank you to all those who came to our coffee morning. We had a great turn out and lots of advice and support was shared with parents from the NHS and SEND services that attended. We had Michelle, our School Nurse, Sam and Emily from Parenting and Helathy Relationships Team and Halton Family Hubs as well as Maria from Halton Health Improvement Team.
Our coffee mornings are aimed to support you and answer any questions or concerns you have regarding your child(ren).We will be having our next coffee morning in the summer term later this year, which will be based around transitions, so keep an eye out for more information.
SEND Coffee Morning and Transition for Y6 parents (19/06/2024)
Thank you for another great turn out at our SEND coffee morning. We welcomed Mrs Scorah (SENDCo) and Mr Mullarkey (Head of Year 7) from St Peter and Pauls High School, Tracey and Rebeccca from Halton Mental Health Support Team, Juanita from Addvanced Solutions and our Education Welfare Officer Kay Rafcliffe. Lots of information and advice was shared with parents and our Y6 children even came to meet the staff from St Peter and Pauls.
We wll continue our SEND coffee mornings next year, however they will be called a SEND Drop In instead. The sessions will still be the same with lots of professionals and agencies on hand to offer support and advice.
