Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
It is the responsibility of the Authority to give each child the type of education which can best meet his/her needs. If your child’s educational or social progress should give cause for concern, you would be invited to school to discuss the situation. With your consent, a detailed assessment can be made. You would be consulted at each stage of the procedure on how their needs can be met.
Targeted Learning Plans are created to support children where specific targets for learning and support strategies have been advised by a specialist teacher. These establish clear targets for progression and are reviewed regularly in consultation with parents.
Please find below our School's Special Educational Needs & Disability Policy and other key documents. This section also includes Lancashire County Council's Local Offer.
For further information please contact Mrs Tranmer, our School's SENDCO on (01254) 233382 or via emailing SENDCO@sacredheart-church.lancs.sch.uk.
