Special Educational Needs

Welcome Message

'St Simon's mission is to work, learn, pray and play together to fulfil God's unique plan for each and every one of us'.

At St. Simon’s RC Primary School, we strive to ensure that every pupil progresses and we fully support all children to achieve their potential. Alongside Kent County Council guidelines, we strive to provide high quality teaching for all through the use of the Mainstream Core Standards. However, for some of our children additional support is needed in different areas:

There are 4 main areas of SEN:

* Communication and Interaction - this includes autistic pupils and those who may have speech and language needs.

* Cognition and Learning - this includes pupils with difficulties in their academic learning and those with dyslexia or dyscalculia.

* Social, Emotional and Mental Health - this includes pupils with emotional and behavioural needs and those diagnosed with ADHD.

* Physical and/or Sensory Needs - this includes pupils with hearing or visual impairment or those diagnosed with specific sensory processing difficulties.

At St. Simon's we support and celebrate all the diverse needs of our children. We are committed to providing a fully inclusive environment. We therefore aim to adapt our teaching and classrooms to ensuring that pupils can work alongside each other, supporting their own well-being and developing their respect for our whole community.

The SEN Lead is Mrs F. Chambers.

Mrs Chambers is available on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, through the school office.
