Our vision for St. Mary’s is to be a beacon of inclusive education where all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) feel truly seen, heard, and valued. We aim to be a school where diversity is celebrated, differences are respected and every pupil can succeed. We envision an environment where all staff are equipped with the skills, understanding, and resources needed to effectively support each learner, promoting independence, resilience, kindness, happiness, and respect.

Our vision for children and young people in Sandwell with special educational needs and disabilities is that they will be able to achieve their aspiration for a healthy ordinary life through meaningful employment and fulfilling relationships within the community of their choosing.

To help with achieving this vision the Local Authority has produced, as required by law, a ‘Local Offer’ which sets out the support they expect to be available for children and young people in Sandwell with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
