The kinds of SEN that are provided for:

Updated April 2023

At St Helen Auckland Community Primary School, our staff hold a wealth of experience to help support children with SEND. All staff receive regular training on working with children with Autism, Sensory and Perception difficulties, Motor difficulties, dyslexia, ADHD and behavioural, social and emotional difficulties.

Members of our team are trained in delivering Speech and Language programmes. Also, we have a learning mentor who is accessible to the children whenever required and provides support to individuals and groups on social, emotional and behavioural issues they are experiencing. Our Parent Support Advisor works closely with the SENCO and parents to listen to and act upon any concerns, providing a supportive and nurturing team where the child’s needs are at the centre. We currently have children with a variety of needs in school including:

Communication and interaction   

  • Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC)
  • Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)

Cognition and learning   

  • Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD)
  • Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)
  • Visual and auditory perception difficulties

Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties 

  • Social, Emotional Difficulties
  • Mental Health Difficulties

Sensory and/or Physical Difficulties 

  • Gross Motor and Fine Motor Difficulties
  • Hearing Impairments
  • Sensory difficulties
  • Visual Impairments
  • Physical difficulties

The school provides data on the levels and types of need to the Local Authority. This is collected through the school census.

At St Helen Auckland Primary, we have children on our SEND register with a variety of needs covering all 4 areas of need. Also, some children need support with more than 1 area of need.
