Catherine Junior School SEND Information Report

Welcome to our SEND Information Report, which is part of the Leicester Local Offer for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. This Local Offer has been produced by the Local Authority in collaboration with Leicester City schools. The purpose of the local offer is to make sure that parents and young people can easily find what services are available in their area and how to access them. It includes provision from birth to 25, across education, health and social care. The Local Offer is available from the website https://families.leicester.gov.uk/send-local-offer/
