--- title: "Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)" url: "https://st-marys.rbkc.sch.uk/our-school/send" school: "St Mary's Catholic Primary School - East Row" --- # Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) **Special Educational Needs at St Mary’s Schools** At St Mary’s we firmly believe that all children are entitled to follow a broad and balanced curriculum. Some children need extra help because of learning difficulties, physical disabilities, or emotional and behavioural needs. The school has screening procedures for identifying and assessing children’s educational needs. We have a Special Needs Co-ordinator who works alongside the class teachers and learning support assistants to plan the educational provision for children with special educational needs. Parents and carers are regularly consulted and kept informed. **SEND Vision** At St Mary’s Primary School, we believe passionately in the importance of **inclusion** and **equality** for all children and strive to ensure that these values are at the heart of our SEND practices. We will always involve parents and children in key decisions, as well as planning and reviewing progress; we know that parents are the first educators of their child and that we need their knowledge and co-operation to plan effectively. We are committed to providing expert support and resources for children with SEND to fulfil their individual potential and to be fully included in our curriculum offer. Our starting point is to guarantee a whole -school approach to providing for the needs of children with SEND. In other words, we make sure that all staff have the knowledge and skills to support all children, including those with SEND, throughout our School.
