SEND

The school has a specialist Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCo). This is Mrs Xaviera Bodkin. She works part time and is in school every Thursday. She can be contacted by phone via the school office, but because she works part time, it is advisable to do so via email. Her address is:  xaviera.bodkin@stpetersaylesford.kent.sch.uk

Special Educational Needs and Disability

A child has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for him or her.

St Peter’s Church of England Primary School is committed to providing an inclusive education for all young people, regardless of ability, gender, language, ethnic or cultural origin. We work effectively with a wide variety of agencies and individuals to focus on improving outcomes for all children with Special Educational Needs.

At St Peter’s Primary School we are committed to:

• Raising the standards of attainment for all SEND students through a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that is differentiated to meet individual learning styles.
• Creating a climate where all staff are aware that they are responsible for students with SEND and plan their lessons accordingly
