SEN statement

Provided by the school and not part of our review

We work within the Wandsworth guidance on provision for children with SEND in mainstream schools which explains the ways pupils and students with different additional needs are provided for within the school. We also follow our equality policy and have an accessibility plan.

At Saint Cecilia’s all pupils, regardless of their particular needs, are offered inclusive teaching which will enable them to make the best possible progress in school and feel that they are a valued member of the wider school community. We may offer the following range of provision to support children with communication and interaction needs, cognition and learning difficulties, social, and mental health problems or sensory or physical needs: Smaller group sizes in some subjects, including English and maths (at KS4); in-class support across the curriculum; small group literacy and numeracy support; language support groups; dyslexia support groups; social skills groups; behavioural support; emotional and social development projects; one-to-one mentoring and coaching; and work with outside agencies such as speech and language therapists/Garratt Park school.

Our special educational needs co-ordinator is Mrs Catherine Bull. Mrs Bull can be contacted on 0208 7801244 or via our SEND Administrator, Miss Biba Ettienne: [email protected]
