At St Christopher’s, we believe that all pupils should be thought of and valued as per our school values in terms of positivity, respect, independence, determination and equality.

We strive hard to ensure that all pupils:

•  Have a balanced curriculum which is differentiated to meet individual needs;
•  Can learn and make progress according to their individual development trends;
•  Are assessed using appropriate tools and guidelines;
•  Have equal access to resources, provision and intervention as needed.

 All teachers at St Christopher’s are teachers of Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) pupils and as such provide high quality teaching which takes account of the particular individual needs of pupils with SEND within the classroom.

If you have any concerns about your child’s learning, please speak to your child’s class teacher or make an appointment with the SENDCo- Mrs Anita Warren- via the school office or by email: office@stcprimary.suffolk.sch.uk or call 01638 750342. 

For further information about the provision for pupils with SEND at our school please refer to the documents on this page.
