SEND at St George's
"Pupils with SEND are supported well in school. Leaders have brought about a shared vision for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to experience a high-quality education." Ofsted, 2023
At St George’s Church of England Academy we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all children. We are fully committed to meeting the needs of those pupils with Special Educational Needs so far as is reasonable and compatible with the education of all pupils.
Children may have special educational needs either throughout their education, whilst others may experience a barrier for a shorter period of time. By working with parents, pupils and staff, we aim to provide the best possible learning environment for all children, including those with SEND.
If you are concerned that your child might have a particular difficulty at school, in the first instance you should speak to the class teacher. You can also speak directly to Mrs Cox (KS2 SENDCo) and Mrs Gent (EYFS and KS1 SENDCo) – Telephone 01325 332230 | Email DSGAdmin@stgeorges-darlington.co.uk

The School’s SEND Information Report is a valuable source of information for parents in relation to SEND. This report details our ethos, processes, curriculum accessibility and provision for SEND, including who to contact if you have a question, query or complaint. Of course, our door is always open – so please speak with us if you ever need to:
Schools are only part of the ‘Local Offer’ that local areas must provide for children with SEND needs. Follow the link below to see how Darlington are coordinating this offer, the services they provide and information to support families across the region:
