The first point of contact for any concerns is your child’s class teacher as they know and interact with your child on a daily basis, and our door is always open offering support to parents and to be involved together in your child’s learning. The school SENDCo Mrs Range and our Pastoral Team can offer individual support for you and your child in many areas, if there is anything that you are worried about we may be able to help you, or put you in contact with other professionals who can. Please message via Class Dojo if you have any SEND concerns that you would like to discuss with Mrs Range.

At Allanson Street Primary School we strive to support all children to enable them to achieve at school. In order to do this many steps are taken to support them through their learning journey. Quality first teaching is vital; however for some children there are occasions when further additional support may be needed to help them fulfil their potential. For more information about how we do this, please look at our SEND Local Offer and Policy.

What is ‘The Local Offer?’

The Children and Families Bill (2014) requires Local Authorities and Schools to publish and keep under review, information about services available for the children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in their local area. This is called the ‘Local Offer’. The intention of the local offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. It is also an important resource for parents in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area. The St.Helens local offer can be found below at:

We also have our own school Local Offer which sets out how we as a school can support children and their families with SEND.

Below are links to our statutory polices including our SEND Policy, Local Offer and our SEND accessibility Plan.
