Children have special educational needs if they have a learning difference that calls for special educational provision to be made for them.

Mrs Sue Poirette is the SENCO ( Special Educational Needs Coordinator) at St Paul's School. She is supported in her role by Miss Flatley and the headteacher. You can contact Mrs Poirrette directly by emailing spoirrette@stpauls.cheshire.sch.uk.

Mrs Poirette ensures the SEN and Disability Act 2001 and guidance in the SEN Code of Practice 2014 is implemented effectively across the school. She supports the staff  to create an environment that meets the special educational needs of each child. She works alongside the Senior Leadership Team to continually monitor the progress of all pupils, to ensure that the special educational needs of children are identified, assessed and provided for as early as possible. She also provides specific input,  helping staff to match interventions to individual needs, in addition to differentiated classroom provision, for those pupils recorded as having SEN at a level which requires a School Focused Plan or for a pupil in receipt of a Statement of Special Educational Need or Education and Health Care plan (EHC).
