Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Our aims

At St Francis we aim to meet the needs of all of our children and offer support when required.  

We aim to:

• Provide an equal and accessible curriculum where possible for all the children in our care
• Develop a partnership with parents at all times
• Identify a child’s needs as soon as possible and support them individually
• Include and consider views of parents and children with SEND
• Involve children where possible in the development of their own programmes

Provision for children with special educational needs is a matter for the school as a whole. In addition to the governing body, the school’s head teacher; the SENDCO and all other members of staff have day-to-day responsibilities.

Local Offer

Doncaster Local Authority Local Offer for SEN

The Local Offer provides information for children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEND) and their parents or carers in a single place. It shows families what they can expect from a range of local agencies, including education, health and social care. Knowing what is out there gives families more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for their children.

All settings must co-operate with the LA in the development and review of the Local Offer as set out in Chapter 4 of the SEND Code of Practice (January 2015) and the associated Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 (Part 4).
