Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Some pupils may require a short term intervention in one or more identified areas. Others may have a long term difficulty or more complex needs that require on-going additional support. Some needs may have already been identified before a pupil attends the school, however for some pupils their SEN may become apparent later on as they move through the school.

We already support a number of Young Carers in school but there may be others that we are not currently aware of.
KS2 pupils have recently had an assembly about Young Carers and were surprised to hear what some young people do to care for others and how it can affect them.
Here is a short video made by one Young Carer:
If you would like to discuss what support might be out there, or would like to let us know about a Young Carer in your family please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs McCallion or Mrs Carruthers at school. Alternatively you could contact the St Helens Carers Centre direct:

Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia affects fine and gross motor co-ordination and can cause problems for young people in planning, organising and carrying out movements in the right order in everyday situations.
There is a new book written by Emma Austin-Jones, The Lilac Story is a fairy tale featuring a group of characters who have varying degrees of Dyspraxia. It is a story of inclusion, friendship and kindness and how it is OK to be grumpy sometimes. For more information visit www.dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/
