SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

Central to the ethos of St Joseph's P.S. is the determination to provide an environment and an experience in which learning and development can take place, within a supportive, stimulating, happy and co-operative community.

The school's provision for pupils with Special Needs takes account of The Special Needs Code of Practice, SENDO and other relevant legislation and guidelines. Children with special educational needs may include those with learning difficulties, emotional and behavioural problems, medical conditions, speech and language difficulties, visual and aural impairments and physical disabilities.

Mrs Mullan is the school's Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator.

A copy of the school's ‘Special Needs Policy' is available from the school on request.
