SEN - Special Educational Needs

At St Mary's Catholic Primary School, we are committed to providing an inclusive education for all children, regardless of need, through a wide range of provision and intervention strategies. However, we understand your child's education begins at home.

This page will offer you advice, useful websites or outside agency information to support you at home with your child.

Additionally, St Mary's Primary School hosts SEN coffee mornings for parents to chat and support each other. See poster at the bottom of the page for up-to-date information.

Cheshire East Local Offer

Cheshire East provide information on a range of agencies and resources to support parents and carers with their children. Resources including contact numbers of parent coffee morning groups, videos and website suggestions are available through their website.

SEND Information Report

The SEND information report has two key purposes:

- To provide clear, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date information about the available provision and how to access it
- To make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations by directly involving children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or a disability, their parents, and service providers in its development and review

The SEND information report provides information on a wide range of areas, including:

• Education and training
• Health provision
• Care provision
• Childcare
• Things to do
• Money and Benefits
• Moving into adult life
• Advice and support
• Getting Around (travel arrangements)

Cheshire East Information, Advice and Support (CEIAS)

Cheshire East Parent Carer Forum

Cheshire East Parent Carer Forum is a voluntary group of enthusiastic, dedicated parent and family carers.

Our aim is to work in partnership with everyone who can help improve the quality of life for children and young people.

Parent Carer Members will benefit from advice, training and the ability to ask questions of other carers and professionals, as well as attending events. Many of our parent carer members also say the benefit of the Forum is to have easy access to friendly, local people who understand what it’s like to have a child with additional needs and are willing to help.

If you would like to meet with Laura Dziamarski (SENCO) to discuss any concerns you have, please contact the office for an appointment at schooloffice@stmrc.uk
