We believe that the community of St Michael's CE Primary School reflects and celebrates the diversity of God’s family. Our commitment is to the needs of every child. All children are valued as unique individuals and all will be given the best opportunities to achieve their full potential, including those who
may face barriers to learning.

SEND Information, Advice and Support Service
Note: From September 2014 Parent Partnership Services (PPS) in every council evolved into Information, Advice and Support (IAS) services. They provide support similar to that of a PPS, although the type of support, and who is entitled to receive it, has been significantly expanded.
Who we are
We offer free, impartial information, advice and support to families of children and young people who have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
We encourage and develop partnerships between children, young people, parents, schools, the council and all other partners who are involved in identifying, assessing and meeting the special educational needs of children and young people.
