SEND
At St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, we believe every child deserves an education tailored to their individual needs, enabling them to become active and contributing members of society. We are committed to ensuring that all children are valued within our school community. We recognise that literacy skills, including reading and writing, are foundational to learning, and we provide additional support for students who may face challenges due to emotional, behavioral, sensory, or physical difficulties that impact their education and well-being.
-
We make reasonable adjustments to ensure every child has access to the best possible learning environment. These adjustments include sensory breaks, visual timetables, Now and Next boards, task slicers, and adapted teaching techniques with scaffolding. Our staff undergo ongoing professional development to ensure they are fully equipped to meet the needs of all children in our care.

Self-regulation is an important focus in our school. In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 (KS1), we support self-regulation through the Colour Monsters Story, while in Key Stage 2 (KS2), we use the Zones of Regulation approach. In addition to this, we offer a range of targeted interventions, such as sensory sessions, Monster Phonics interventions, Lego Therapy, and soft starts to support our students' learning needs.
-
We work in close partnership with the North Star Inclusion Advisory Team, who collaborate with both children and staff to ensure personalised strategies are in place. We work closely with the School Nursing Team, who visit our school to offer workshops, provide support, and assist with referrals for children who require additional help. Speech and Language Therapists visit our school to provide targeted support for students, offering assessments, interventions, and guidance to help improve communication skills.
-
To monitor, review, and communicate each child’s educational journey, we use Edu Key Provision Mapping. This tool allows us to track individual progress, and parents are encouraged to view and engage with this process through direct communication with both the SENDCo and class teachers.

Mrs. A Tandy, our SENDCo, is dedicated to maintaining strong communication with parents, providing up-to-date training, and ensuring a collaborative approach to support each child.
As outlined in Gravissimum Educationis (Vatican II), “Since every person, of whatever race, condition, and age, is endowed with human dignity, he/she has an inalienable right to an education corresponding to his/her proper destiny and suited to his/her talents.”
