SEND & Local Offer

SEND at Christ Church C of E (c) Primary School

SENCO: Mrs Amy Stafford and Mrs Lorna Pennock

At Christ Church, we are committed to providing a fun, stimulating and inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all of our pupils.

Each pupil at Christ Church is valued and supported, whatever their needs or abilities. We encourage our pupils to be aspirational, to strive for success and to make progress against their previous achievements.  Our aim is for every pupil to leave Christ Church as happy, skilled learners, with a desire to continue learning and be successful in life.

We utilise the expertise and experience of our staff to secure special educational provision for pupils who require support that is ‘additional to and different from’ that provided within our differentiated curriculum. Our provision addresses the four areas of need identified in the Code of Practice (September 2014):

  • Communication and interaction
  • Cognition and learning
  • Social, mental and emotional health
  • Sensory/physical needs
