Our SEND Vision
We are committed to inclusive practice, ensuring that all learners, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), have equitable access to the full National Curriculum. Our approach is rooted in the belief that every child can achieve and should be supported to participate meaningfully in a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum.
Quality First Teaching underpins our provision for all pupils. Adaptive teaching strategies are embedded across the school to ensure that teaching is responsive to individual strengths, needs and starting points, while maintaining consistently high expectations. This includes appropriate scaffolding, targeted support and reasonable adjustments so that barriers to learning are reduced and all pupils can engage successfully with curriculum content.
We are ambitious for our learners with SEND and ensure their individual needs are clearly identified and documented in detailed pupil profiles. These profiles inform planning, enabling staff to adapt curriculum delivery, learning experiences and outcomes so that each pupil can access learning in a way that is appropriate and meaningful to them. Where necessary, curriculum pathways are personalised to support progress, independence and preparation for the next stage of education.
Through this inclusive approach, we strive to secure the best possible academic, social and emotional outcomes for every learner.
SEND Local Offer
Under the new SEND code of practice, local authorities must publish a Local Offer, setting out in one place information about provision they expect to be available across education, health and social care for children and young people in their area who have SEN or are disabled, including those who do not have Education, Health and Care (EHCP) plans. In setting out what they 'expect to be available', local authorities should include provision which they believe will actually be available.
The Local Offer has two key purposes:
- To provide clear, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date information about the available provision and how to access it, and
- To make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations by directly involving disabled children and those with SEN and their parents, and disabled young people and those with SEN, and service providers in its development and review
This is Our Local offer which sets out what provision and support is available at St Cecilia's Catholic Primary School for disabled children and children with SEN. This offer was created in conjunction with parents, staff and governors of St Cecilia's Catholic Primary School. If you require more information or wish to view the school please do not hesitate to contact the school on 0151 228 1760
Liverpool's local offer provides information for children and young people with special educational needs (SEND), their parents or carers- all in one place
