Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND)

Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

At St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, we strive to meet the needs of all pupils within our school. All staff are aware of SEND within the school and receive high quality information and training. We aim to quickly identify pupils, who are making limited progress and provide targeted interventions and support to meet their needs. We ensure that parents are fully aware of the SEND process and informed of their child’s learning regularly throughout the year.  We aim to continue to learn, develop and grow our understanding of SEND across the school to meet the needs of all pupils within our care.

If you have any concerns or wish to discuss SEND at our school, please do not hesitate to contact me m.shirley@stteresa.bham.sch.uk
