SEND

This page contains lots of information that will help you find out more about provision for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), both here at St Andrew's and in the local area.  

The SEND Information Report and Policy will give you a comprehensive overview of our SEND provision at St Andrew's.

Young Carers at St Andrew's

Our St Andrew's Young Carers' Group has been running for several years and we have had very positive feedback from those who attend. The children meet on alternate Friday afternoons for an hour and have the chance to relax and chat while trying a range of new experiences, such as cooking, arts and craft, Forest School activities and other trips. They also meet with other Young Carers across the city. Our PSA, Nikki is leading the group, and is open to any new ideas or offers of support.

 

If you feel your child would benefit from joining the Young Carers' Group then please speak to a class teacher or contact Nikki directly at school.
