SEND Provision

At St Damian’s, pupils with special needs and disabilities are at the heart of all that we do. Pupils with SEND experience an ambitious, academic curriculum delivered by dedicated staff trained in adaptive teaching. Embracing diversity and including all are central to our mission and The St Damian’s Way.

​

Our vision for pupils with SEND is simple – that they THRIVE - meaning that they fulfil their academic potential and develop into happy, successful individuals, who are well-prepared for adulthood.

Learning Support Assistants provide in-class support aimed at promoting academic progress and independence. They also support pupils through reading intervention during form-time. At lunchtimes, along with the Special Support Manager, LSAs staff various clubs for pupils so that pupils always have a lunchtime activity to participate in.
