Special Educational Needs
Here at St. Joseph’s Senior National School we aim to help each child reach their full potential. We offer support to children using various evidence based interventions in a number of different settings: power hour, streamed teaching, team teaching, small group withdrawal and one on one support. Parents are invited to work in collaboration with the school S.E.N. team to help develop programmes of learning for their children. You can have a look at some of what we've been up to in the photo gallery at the end of the page!

JANUARY 2018
For the next five weeks the SEN team will be providing in class support. This support will be offered through team teaching or station teaching depending on the year group. This will give our children the chance to access the curriculum more effectively alongside their classmates. We will continue to offer extra support to those entitled to learning support in this setting. Seeing how they manage in class will help us when we come to review their IPLPs and IEPs during review week next month.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017
For the months of November and December we will be withdrawing the children in small groups. This will allow us to really target their needs in a small group setting. It will help us to review their individual learning plans in the new year too.
OCTOBER 2017
In class support started at the beginning of the month and our students are all working really hard and are making good progress. We appreciate all the help and input we got from you in putting together their Individual Education Plans and Individual Learning Plans. These plans will enable us to help your child make progress throughout the year. As always your support at home is greatly needed and appreciated. If you have any questions about how best to help your child please don't hesitate to contact a member of the SEN team who can give you some suggestions!

SEPTEMBER 2017
Welcome back! We wish you and your children a great new school year! Our students are settling back in to their new classes and getting to know their new teachers. Over the next couple of weeks, with your permission, the SEN team will be testing some of the students to see who may benefit from extra support this year. As with last year the nature of the support given will vary-from in class support, to group withdrawal to 1:1 work in some cases.
