SEND

At St James' Church of England Primary Academy, we strive to prepare all our children to successfully aspire to a wealth of opportunities with curiosity and resilience embedded in all they do.

On behalf of myself and the St. James' team I would like to thank you for visiting this page. Here you can access the Local Offer, our SEND Information Report and a variety of relevant policies including the SEND Policy. Regular updates will be added to this page, so please keep an eye out for helpful ideas and resources.
