All children who attend St Swithun Wells Catholic Primary School are unique and individual. It is our expectation of all members of staff to recognise and nurture the strengths and talents of every child. We strive to help every child develop their full potential and believe what we want for your child is what you want for your child - to be the very best they can be.

This page gives information about how we support children with Special Educational Needs. If you would like any further information please contact Mrs Sullivan, Inclusion Leader either by telephoning the school office or emailing directly: a.senco@st-swithunwells.hants.sch.uk. 

Your support for your child’s education is crucial to their progress. Please tell us if there is any adjustments we need to make to help you support your child, for example: coloured overlays, letters in large font; letters in different languages; wheelchair access; explaining things over the phone.
