At St John the Baptist RC Primary School, we are committed to providing an inclusive education where every child is valued, supported and given the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is

Miss S Armstrong, who is also a Year 5 class teacher.

Parents and carers who would like to discuss their child’s additional needs or SEND provision can contact Miss Armstrong by email at:

senco@st-john.lancs.sch.uk

The SENCO will respond to enquiries within school working hours and within a reasonable timeframe, taking account of teaching and other school responsibilities.

Alternatively, parents and carers can contact the school office (01282 771146) to arrange an appointment with Miss Armstrong.
