At St Benedict’s RC Primary School we support all children to enable them to be the best they can possibly be. In order to do this, many steps are taken to support them through their learning journey. Quality Teaching is vital ~ however for some children there are occasions when further support may be needed to help them overcome difficulties. At St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School we work closely with our children, their parents and, where appropriate, outside agencies, to develop each child’s individual support.

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Information Report
What is the SEND Report?
Since 2014, schools are required to publish information about services they provide for children with disabilities and Special Educational Needs. This is called the ‘SEND Report.’ The intention is to offer choice and transparency for families, as well as providing a resource for professionals to detail the range of services and provision locally.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Local Authority’s Local Offer, available on the North Yorkshire website.
Our SEND school report, which is an online publication that we review and update at least annually, outlines the provision which we offer at St Benedict’s RC Primary School and aims to answer any potential questions which you might have. It outlines how we identify support and monitor the progress of our children with additional needs.
