Supporting children with Special Educational Needs and their families is an important area of focus for us at The Cathedral Catholic Primary School. We aim for all pupils, regardless of need, to reach their full potential and be safe and happy whilst doing it.

Please find some websites, documents and information on this page that might be useful in the home. This list is not exhaustive but contains some links that we use for training and advice in school. 

For further information about specific SEND support in school please see the Inclusion and Equality section of our website. 

As always, if you are struggling at home and need some support please contact the SENDCO, Mrs Benson (s.benson@cathedral.lancs.sch.uk).
