As parents of an SEN child, we feel listened to and fully supported. We chose St Finian’s because of the faith values it upholds and this is very much being shown in the support and care both our son and we are receiving. Thankyou.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
We are committed to promoting high standards of education for all children. Some children need extra support and a tailored curriculum to enable them to thrive. Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is Miss Ohanian. She can be contacted via the school office on: 01635 865 925.
We know that every child is made in the image of God and deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. At St.Finian's, we are dedicated to understanding SEN needs; we work alongside our SEN children, their parents and SEN professionals to support our SEN children so they can flourish and reach their potential during their time at school.
Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND) provision in school aims to help our SEN children to achieve the best possible outcomes through:
- Identifying at an early stage the need for additional support.
- Developing individual learning provision for children with SEND.
- Monitoring and evaluating progress.
- Helping parents to support their children by providing information and guidance on how they can help at home.
- Organising specialist services from outside the school (multi-agency working) where necessary.
