Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
At St Luke’s, we believe all children, whatever their additional needs may be, can achieve with the right support in place. We aspire to understand and meet the needs of every child in our school and we believe in achievement and opportunity for all children. We recognise the importance of high-quality teaching, high expectations and early intervention. Children are at the heart of what we do and we work as a team to support all children and their families to achieve ambitious learning outcomes. We value the positive impact that parents and carers have and see you as an integral part of this team. For children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), we use a graduated response based on a cycle of: assess, plan, do and review.
