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.

As always, if you are struggling and need some support please contact the SENCO, Mrs Benson ([s.benson@cathedral.lancs.sch.uk](https://web.archive.org/web/20230531235433/mailto:s.benson@cathedral.lancs.sch.uk)).
