SEND and inclusion support for parents
At St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, parents of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are supported through open, regular communication and a strong partnership approach. The school works closely with families to ensure parents are involved in decision-making, understand their child’s needs, and feel confident in the support provided. Guidance and advice are offered through meetings, reviews, and access to the SENDCo, with signposting to external agencies where appropriate. The school values parents’ views and works collaboratively to ensure each child is supported to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally within a caring, inclusive Catholic ethos. We aim to not only support our children but also offer support to families and parents/carers. Our SENDco hosts regular SEND coffee mornings for parents and signposts parents to useful resources and courses to help support development at home.

We offer different levels of support:
- Universal Support– To meet the needs of all our pupils through our overall ethos and our wider curriculum. For instance, developing resilience for all.
- Additional support– For those who may have short-term needs and those who may have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as bereavement.
- Targeted support– For pupils who need more differentiated support and resources or specific targeted interventions such as wellbeing groups, learning mentor sessions or referral to wider professionals.
