Special Education Needs
St Patrick's has developed its SEN provision over the past five years. Under the direction of Mr R McConville (VP - Pastoral Care) and Mrs A McCann (SENCO) we have integrated children with special needs into our highly academic environment. Working with other agencies such as the SEELB, health agencies and social services we have tried to ensure that all neeeds are met and with the support of general and classroom assistants individual education plans are tailored to meet pupils' needs.
