    Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

    At St. Patrick's Catholic Primary School, we are committed to supporting every child to achieve their full potential. We work closely with pupils, parents, carers and external agencies to ensure that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) receive the support they need to thrive both academically and personally.

    Our SEND team can provide advice, support and signposting to a range of specialist services. If you would like to discuss your child's needs or find out more about our SEND provision, please contact Miss Sinha, our SENDCo.
