SEND
Some of our pupils may need a little extra help and this is where our Special Educational and Disability (SEND) support comes in. Each child with additional needs is offered different support tailored to meet their needs. Staff at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School work closely with our children, their parents and, where appropriate, outside agencies, to develop each child’s individual support package.
Our SEND Information Report outlines how we identify support and monitor the progress of our children with additional needs.
Our SENDCO is Ms Monaghan (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) . If you have any questions or concerns please contact us via the school office on 01653 692274, who will be more than happy to help.
Local Offer
The local offer provides information on what services children, young people and their families can expect from a range of local agencies, including education, health and social care. Knowing what is out there gives you more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for your child. The North Yorkshire local offer can be found at this link
