SEND

At Newchurch St. Nicholas, we believe that every child has the right to take part in a broad and balanced curriculum that enables them to fulfil their potential in a safe and happy environment. Our vision is for every child to be fully included within all aspects of school life and for all children to take part in learning activities that are suited to meet their needs.

Mrs. Phelan is the school's Special Educational Needs coordinator. Her contact email address is senco@newchurchcofe.lancs.sch.uk
