We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning, raising expectations and levels of achievement and working in partnership with other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils including those with a special educational need or disability. Our school recognises there are particular groups of pupils whose circumstances require additional consideration by those who work with them to support their SEND. At St Wilfrid’s we have appointed a Designated Teacher for Looked after Children who works closely with the SENCO to ensure all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who are looked after and have SEND. At St Wilfrid’s we ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs make the best possible progress. ### What is the Local Authority Local Offer? From September 2014 Local Authorities (LA) and schools are required to publish and keep under review information about services they expect to be available for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) aged 0-25. This is called the **‘Local Offer’.** The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice for families and will also be an important resource for parents in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area. The current link to the LA Local Offer website can be found at: **[www.countydurhamfamilies.info/localoffer](http://www.countydurhamfamilies.info/localoffer)** ### Key Contacts The following are the main contacts for Special Educational Needs and Disability at St Wilfrid’s School: Mrs R Shaw is SENDCO Miss J Sands is the Head Teacher Ms J Shaughnessy is our designated SEND Governor: ### PARENTS & PUPILS - [Our School](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/parents/our-school-uniform) - [Key Documents](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/about-us/premium-allocations) - [SEND](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send) - [SEND](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send) - [SEND Information Report](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/send-information-report) - [Teaching, Learning and the Curriculum](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/teaching-learning-and-the-curriculum) - [Finance](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/finance) - [SEND Provision](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/send-provision) - [SEND Transition](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/send-transition) - [Agencies and Partnerships](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/agencies-and-partnerships) - [Contact SENDCO](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/contact-sendco) - [Compliments, Complaints & Feedback](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/send/compliments-complaints-feedback) - [Our Curriculum](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/parents/our-curriculum) - [News and Events](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/) ![St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-wilfrid-s-r-c-v-a-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School Murphy Crescent Bishop Auckland County Durham DL14 6QH 01388 603451 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stwilfridscatholicprimaryschoolba/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stwilfrids_bishopauckland/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stwilfrids.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
