Special Educational Needs Information

Each and every child is unique, and may have different talents and skills. Sometimes, children may need additional support in order to access the curriculum or to ensure that they reach their full potential.

St William of York celebrates and rejoices in each child's individuality and is fully inclusive. We have a highly qualified Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, Zoe Thorn, who will offer advice and guidance to teachers and parents. If you are worried about your child's progress or behaviour, then speak to the class teacher initially who may suggest that an appointment is made with Ms Thorn.

The school seeks additional expert advice from a range of outside agencies; Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Educational Psychologists, CAMHS, Social Services, Specific Learning Difficulties team, the ASD outreach team and others.

Safeguarding 

Keeping our children safe is EVERYONE's responsibility!

The Designated Lead Teacher for Safeguarding is Mrs Hayley Mayers (Headteacher).

If you have any worries, or concerns, please speak to Mrs Mayers and she will be able to offer advice and support.

If Mrs Mayers is not available, please speak to either Ms Thorn or Miss Ogston, who are the Deputy Designated Lead teachers for Safeguarding.
