Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

All pupils may need extra support at some point in their lives.

Whether there is a diagnosis, a change in circumstances, bereavement or unknown reason resulting in a change in a child's behaviour, or if you just need some advice, we are here to support your family. On this page you will find information about how we support children with additional needs as well as useful links and resources for parents. 

If you wish to discuss your child's needs please contact Ms Feather (SENDCO) at admin@stpaulswalden.herts.sch.uk

Ofsted noted that, at St Paul's Walden School, "Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve soundly. Parents appreciate the care and education staff provide."

Our SEND Information Report and SEND policy explain how we support children with SEND at St Paul's Walden School.
