Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Provision
Miss. T Earley (SENDCo)
Please contact Miss T Earley, the SENDCo via: SEN@stjosephsotley.org
At St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, we provide an inclusive environment in which children with SEND are educated alongside their peers and can participate fully in the educational experience. We actively identify any barriers to learning at the earliest opportunity to achieve the best possible outcomes for children. We are committed to high achievement for all, supporting children and their families through SEND provision and personalised learning. Our provision and intervention meets each child’s individual educational and well-being needs, enabling them to access a broad and balanced curriculum.
We are a MIndmate Friendly school and we aim to support every child’s emotional, social and mental health needs so they are happy to love, laugh and learn together. The school makes use of a number of outside agencies including Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Leeds Learning and Inclusion Team, STARS Autism Support Team, Occupational Therapists and School Nurses. Our Catholic Care worker provides therapeutic intervention alongside out nurture provision.
To meet physical needs, we have ramps around school which give access to almost all parts of the school. In addition, we have a dedicated hygiene/toilet room for use by pupils and adults with mobility difficulties.
