SEND INFORMATION
St. Aidan’s Catholic Primary School is a fully inclusive school which ensures that all pupils achieve their potential personally, spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and educationally.
At St Aidan's we operate an ‘open door’ policy. Parents and carers are encouraged to speak with the class teacher about any concerns they may have. They will be able to discuss additional support children are receiving. If you wish to discuss your child’s needs further please contact the Headteacher or SENCO who will be able to talk about how St Aidan's can support children with SEND.
The School’s complaints policy is on our school website. This includes complaints around SEND and looked after children. The policy can also be obtained through request of a paper copy from the school office. Please follow this policy if you would like to make a formal complaint. In the first instance discussions would be encouraged by the class teacher, SENCO and Headteacher to try and resolve any issues.
The SEND Policy, SEND Information Report and Accessibility Plan can be found on the Policies page of our website linked on this page.
Our school SENCo is Mrs Marsh and is available via contacting the school office.
