In the SEN Provision section we have added information about our SEND Information Report including how we support, identify and assess children with SEN at St Charles RCVA Primary School. Please access this information from the menu.

Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum
At St Charles we believe that inclusive education means providing all pupils with appropriate education and support alongside their peers. The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development.
It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of additional opportunities that the school organises in order to enrich the experiences of our children. Our curriculum also includes the social aspects that are essential for life-long learning.
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
