Additional & Special Educational Needs

Inclusion at St John Fisher Catholic Primary School

Introduction

All Essex schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school.

All schools in the local area promote inclusion and attempt to ensure that all Special Educational Needs and Disabilities are met within mainstream provision where possible and appropriate to the pupil’s requirements and schools resources.

There are four main areas of need as outlined in the SEN Code of Practice 2014. They are: Communication and Interaction, Cognition and Learning, Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties and Sensory and Physical Needs.

Our Schools SEN Report & Information

The report below outlines the school’s approach to supporting pupils and their families with Special Educational Needs.

Here at St John Fisher Catholic Primary School we believe that every child is unique and learns in their own way, this is especially true for pupils who have Special Educational Needs. We aim to ensure that a variety of teaching strategies as well as practical activities and resources are used to engage all pupils in their learning. We work together with parents/carers to ensure we are doing all we can to support your child in meeting their full potential.
