At St Peter's Catholic Primary School, we value each and every one of God's children equally. We pride ourselves on the support we give to all our pupils. For those pupils who have difficulties in accessing any part of their school life, we use the Graduated Approach for SEND to enhance our Quality First Provision. We work closely with agencies and professionals to seek the best support at the appropriate time, from the Local Authority and NHS Trust Services and Teams.

Our Special Educational Needs (and Disabilities) Coordinator (SENCo) is Mrs Hazel Fitzsimons. 

Mrs Fitzsimons can be contacted by appointment via the school office or directly using the following email address: senco@stpeter.doncaster.sch.uk  

How we support those with additional needs is detailed in our SEND Policy, SEND Information Report and the Accessibility Plan (see below). These documents outline our approach to the support we deliver across the Graduated Approach for children with SEND.
