SEND

At St. Paul’s, our primary aim is for each pupil to thrive in a happy and secure environment and to be given every opportunity to maximise their full potential. We aim to cultivate an environment in which all children flourish.

Occasionally, children will encounter barriers to their learning. We aim to identify any special needs as early as possible, including screening all reception children for language development. We aim to provide the appropriate support and resources to enable all children to participate in school life successfully. Some pupils will have special needs for a short time, whilst others will need support throughout their school life, to varying degrees. Regardless of the need, our objective is to give every child at St. Paul’s the opportunity to achieve their potential.

Private Assessment Reports

Please ensure all requests for private assessment reports are sent to the school SENDCo at senco@stpauls-thamesditton.surrey.sch.uk. They will then ensure that the report is completed by the most appropriate individual and manage the fees and returns process.

Please note that it is the discretion of the school as to whether or not any guidance or suggestions from private reports are implemented. The content of such reports does not amend the application of our SEND policy or graduated response.

Homework Club

All children in Key Stage 2 who are on the SEND register are invited to Mrs McAuley's Homework club on a Friday afternoon. This is an opportunity for the children to get at least part of their homework completed before the weekend and not in the home setting. Our aim is to complete at least one piece of the book-based homework, if not two, leaving families with reading and times tables to complete at home.

If you are a prospective parent and have any questions regarding our SEN provision, please contact our Deputy Headteacher SENDCo Mrs Katie McAuley at senco@stpauls-thamesditton.surrey.sch.uk or by telephone on 0208 3986791
