Special Educational Needs & Disability Provision | Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School

Welcome to the Corpus Christi Primary School SEND page. We have a commitment to high achievement and we strive to provide all our children with a quality education regardless of their gender, disability, ethnicity, ability or social background. Some children may have additional educational needs and it is our job to identify these and provide the appropriate support needed to ensure they achieve their full potential. Mr Henney has achieved the National Award for SEN Coordination (NASENCO) which is a statutory requirement for all SENCOs. Miss O’Connor is currently completing this qualification. The SEND Team at Corpus Christi Primary School consists of the following members of staff:

Miss O’Connor | Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (EYFS & KS1)

Mr Henney | Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (KS2)

Mrs Hurt | Child and Family Welfare Lead

If you have any concerns about your child, please discuss these immediately with your child’s class teacher who will then inform the SENDCO. You can contact the school office on 01642 211597 and arrange a meeting or phone call at your convenience. Information regarding your child’s class can be found on the Our Classes page while services available both in school and at home can be seen below in the Local Offer section. You can also contact the Corpus Christi SEND Team directly by emailing us at [email protected]

The SEND Process that we will follow within school can be viewed below. At Corpus Christi, we value the partnership we have with parents and families of children within school. The continuous work we complete together has helped us achieve the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) which is credit to our Parental Engagement Lead, Trish Connor.

Throughout the year, we regularly run SEND coffee mornings, to allow families to come into school and discuss their child and the support they receive in an informal manner. These are fantastic opportunities to meet us and find out a little more information about the support available by speaking to us and other parents and families.
