These include: Supporting students in the classroom over a wide range of subjects Liaising with teachers Withdrawing small groups for literacy, numeracy or social skills tuition Supporting students on a one to one basis depending on individual need The department has a designated teaching area which is known as the ‘Learning Hub’. This is where withdrawal groups or one to one support is provided according to individual need. Transition from Primary School Contact will have been made with primary schools before students make the transition to St. Paul’s. This enables the team to prepare for the new Year 7 intake and make arrangements to meet their needs. On arrival at St. Paul’s, Year 7 pupils undertake several assessments to establish their current level of ability in literacy, numeracy and cognitive skills. The results of these assessments will help to identify where support and interventions may be required. Parental Concerns Parents are kept fully informed of any concerns regarding a pupil’s progress and the need for possible interventions which may be required. Parents and carers who have concerns or queries about their child can contact the SENCo at any time during the school day to discuss their concerns or arrange a meeting. The Catholic ethos is firmly maintained in the daily activities of the school and in the work of the SEN department. The School curriculum also reflects requirements for inclusion and equality as set out in the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice 2014 and Equality Act 2010, and refers to curriculum-related expectations of governing boards set out in the Department for Education’s Governance Handbook. https://mychoice.leicester.gov.uk Contact Us Address St Paul’s Catholic School A Voluntary Academy Spencefield Lane Evington Leicester LE5 6HN Phone 0116 241 4057 Email office@st-pauls.leicester.sch.uk Office Hours Monday to Friday 8.00am to 4.00pm © 2021 Copyright St Paul's Catholic School | STA-CMAT is a limited company (08090890) Privacy Policy | Cookie Policy | Made by CODA Education
