Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) makes sure that any additional needs are quickly identified. Teachers help pupils with SEND to be successful with their learning. Extra support is provided for pupils who need it. (Ofsted, 2021)

At St. Joseph's we believe that every child is entitled to a curriculum;

• that enables them to achieve their potential
• that develops the whole child by catering for their social, emotional, physical, intellectual and moral development
• that encourages purpose, self-discipline, independence and community responsibility in a caring and secure learning environment.

Sometimes, despite the class teacher’s support and differentiated planning, some children have difficulty in learning. If this happens we will provide additional help and support.
