Holy Trinity is an inclusive school, which offers a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum for all its pupils. Some children have a special educational need, which means special provision is made to accommodate their needs. This may be because of a learning difficulty, a health issue, a disability or emotional and behavioural difficulties.
At Holy Trinity we:
Use our best endeavours to make sure that a child with SEN gets the support they need.

Our school, like all others is required to provide help at the earliest possible point, with children and young people with SEN and their parents fully involved in decisions about their support and what they want to achieve. It is anticipated that this will lead to better outcomes, and more efficient ways of working.

Nurture Provision 
Nurture provision offers a short term, focused, early intervention strategy, which addresses
barriers to earning arising primarily from social, behaviour, emotional or well-being difficulties,
in an inclusive
and supportive manner.
Mrs Gavin, who runs our Nurture provision ensures that the nurture group environment is designed to be welcoming and safe, to support pupils in developing relationships with their peers and teachers, to develop their self esteem, and to have a greater understanding of and
ability to express their emotions.
