SEN
All children are unique and have different ways of learning, playing and expressing themselves.
Some children have additional learning needs, which may mean they need some extra support at school. As stated in our SEN policy...
Holy Family Catholic Primary and Nursery School strives to be an inclusive school
We believe that all children, regardless of their learning needs, should be treated as individuals who have a right to an education that allows them to fulfil their academic, social and emotional potential. We believe that by providing equal opportunities, effective teaching and learning, nurture and encouragement we can support our pupils in becoming capable, confident and independent learners to the very best of their abilities.
Provision at Holy Family
At Holy Family we have our own sensory room. This environment provides a sensory experience to all children and can be used for relaxation and de-escalation. The room provides a calming space and can be used by all children.
We also have a sensory nook which again provides a calming space for children and provides many benefits
- Sensory Nook Plus reduces external sensory overload.
- It provides a supportive safe space for pupils with SEND.
- It helps them self regulate and cope with everyday situations and improves pupil wellbeing.
- It is a personally adaptive learning environment that is proven to lower anxiety.
SEND Online Safety Hub
NetAware have launched an online safety hub to help support parents and carers who have children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The hub includes: online safety and wellbeing tips and advice and activities specifically for parents and carers of children with SEND.
