SEND
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
At St. Teresa’s Catholic Primary School, Christ is at the centre of everything we do. We aim to give our children the best possible Catholic education providing them with exciting opportunities and learning experiences which will enable them to reach their full potential.
We aim to ensure that all the children in our care are equipped for life-long learning as responsible citizens in an ever-changing, diverse community. As an inclusive school, we believe that every child has the right to be happy, to be safe and to learn.
Mrs Satloka is the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator at St. Teresa's. You can contact her via the school office or the email address below.

Considering Complaints
Should a parent or carer have a concern about the special provision made for their child, they should, in the first instance, discuss this with the class teacher.
If the concern continues, the SENCO and class teacher will work together with the parents to solve the problem.
If the concern cannot be satisfactorily dealt with at this stage, it should be brought to the notice of the Headteacher.
If the Head is unable to resolve the difficulty, the parents’ concerns should be put in writing to the SEND Governor (Mrs Carrie Toal) via the school office.
The Chair of Governors will be involved after other avenues to resolve the situation have been exhausted.
