What does special educational needs and disabilities mean? | Oxfordshire County Council We assess all children regularly and plan for their provision in class and any additional interventions needed .For pupils on the SEN register, this is recorded in a pupil profile. Progress is reviewed and outcomes agreed three times in the school year with parents and children.

At St Peter's, we believe in celebrating the whole child and their talents, strengths and individualities, whatever they may be.
