Inclusion and Special Educational Needs (SEN)
At St. Patrick’s we celebrate that which brings us together; living in London, speaking English and of course our Catholic faith. We also celebrate all the differences of culture and language that enrich our community.
We are committed to the inclusion of all children with special educational needs. We monitor all children’s learning and behaviour carefully. Some of our children may need additional support during their time at the school. If parents or staff have any concerns this is immediately discussed and together an individual programme to address the needs of the child is devised. The school may seek support from outside agencies. The child’s programme of support is regularly reviewed and parents’ views are sought at each stage. In other parts of the school we identify children to participate in “catch up” programmes in English and Mathematics.
