SEND
Catholic values and beliefs underpin the distinctive ethos of St. Ignatius College and the very strong and powerful Jesuit traditions, expectations and prayer life of the school.
The College is inclusive and aims to promote equality of opportunity, excellence and the development of individual potential. We believe that all our students are of equal value and share the same educational rights - irrespective of race, gender, sexuality or disability – and are given the same opportunities to progress and fulfil their potential. The College recognises the whole person and the gifts they may possess. The College’s SEND policy will have full regard to the requirements of The Equality Act 2010.
All students are entitled to and should have the opportunity to develop a wide range of learning and life skills. We believe that this entitlement should be delivered through a balanced and broad curriculum. We hope that all our students will develop the knowledge, skills and critical reasoning to function autonomously throughout life.
The Learning Development is led by Mr Mullen (Assistant Headteacher) and Mrs Cronan (SENCo). The SENCo and a team of Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) work alongside teachers and students in lesson to provide in-class support. When students need more specialised interventions, students may be invited for targeted support either individually or in a small group. We co-ordinate support with a range of outside agencies such as Speech and Language Therapists, Educational Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, CAHMS and more.
St Ignatius College has a Speech and Language Resource Base (SLRB) for students with an EHCP and a diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). There is a maximum of 10 students in the base.
