Our aim is that our children with additional needs will be supported to experience life in all its fullness, both during their time with us and in their future lives in the world.

Meet the SENDCo/Inclusion Leader
Welcome to St John and St James! I’m Mrs Woolley – I’m one of the Assistant Head Teachers and also the SENDCo and Inclusion Leader.
A key part of my role in school is coordinating the provision for our children with SEND and those with other barriers to learning, such as having English as an additional language (EAL). If you have any queries regarding your child’s needs and any barriers they may have to their learning, please make an appointment to meet with me through the school office.
