Supporting students with SEND
The vision for SEND provision at St Gregory’s remains clear: ‘We provide every student in our care with a world-class Catholic education, welcoming them into our inclusive and caring community in which every child is known and loved.’
This vision is at the heart of everything we do, and this ethos has enabled us to genuinely get to know the students within our care and to provide them with a personalised experience where possible. Although we offer interventions such as Maths, Literacy and Social-Communication, we believe that wherever possible students should be in front of a qualified specialist teacher experiencing quality first teaching.
We want our students to achieve the best outcomes possible, whilst also preparing them for independence as they move to the next phase in their education.
