SEND Information
A child or young person has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her. A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:
- Has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or
- Has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions
If you believe your child has a special educational need, learning difficulty or disability which has not been identified then please make contact with our SEND team to talk about your concerns.
You can do this by calling the main school line 01212473947 option 2 and asking to speak to Mrs Appleby the SENDCo lead, or by emailing j.apperley@stpatandsted.bham.sch.uk
There is a wide range of support and interventions for SEND students at St. Patrick and St. Edmunds Catholic Primary School.

HOW WILL THE SENCO/INCLUSION MANAGER ENSURE THE NECESSARY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT MY CHILD’S NEEDS?
Your child will have a support plan detailing the areas of need your child should be working on.
This plan will be written by the class teacher and shared with all staff working with your child.
Your child may also have a one page profile written with your child detailing what a good day looks like, what a bad day looks like and what school can do to help and support.
Parents will have copies of all plans/profiles to be kept in red folders at home.
Your child’s support plan will be reviewed bi-annually by the class teacher and any other staff working with your child.
The SENCo/Inclusion Manager will keep a copy of the review.
HOW WILL MY CHILD’S PROGRESS BE REVIEWED?
Support plans will be reviewed biannually and your child will be part of this process throughout the academic year.
Regular work and assessment will be undertaken by your child and staff throughout the year.
Your child’s support plan will be shared with you on parent’s evenings or at another time arranged by the class teacher.
If your child has a provision plan or an education, health and care plan (EHC plan) then these will be reviewed annually and you will be invited to a review meeting.
One page profiles will be reviewed annually with your child as part of the review process.
IF MY CHILD NEEDS EXTRA SUPPORT, WILL I ALWAYS BE SPOKEN TO ABOUT THIS?
A ‘note’ will be made during the meeting and you will be given a copy.
If further discussion is needed then a meeting will be arranged either with your class teacher or with the SENCo/Inclusion Manager.
WILL INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE SHARED, BE MADE CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND?
The support plan for your child will be in child friendly language and so will the one page profile.
Any documents concerning your child will be discussed with you and/or you will be given a copy and if you have any questions concerning the document then school will arrange a time to discuss it with you.
