At Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School we recognise that all children have a right to a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum.

We aim to create a happy, educationally exciting and positive environment in which all pupils can develop to their full potential.

We recognise that children are individuals, that each one has needs special to him or her.

Our Inclusion Leader is Mr Spackman and the SENCo is Mrs F Dogar. All teachers are always happy to meet with parents and carers. Please call the office for an appointment.

Helpful Websites and links for Parents and Carers
We know that finding the right support for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) can sometimes be tricky. To help, we’ve put together a list of useful websites and online resources for parents and carers. These sites offer practical tips, advice on learning and wellbeing, and information about local services and support networks. They’re a great starting point to help you feel confident and supported as you help your child thrive.

The Oxfordshire SEND Local Officer is an online resource for parents and carers, providing information about local support, services, and opportunities for children with SEND. It’s a great place to find advice and guidance to help your child flourish.

The Oxfordshire Family Information Directory is a helpful resource for parents and carers, offering up-to-date information on local services, activities, and support for children and families. It covers everything from childcare and education to health services, clubs, and community events, making it easier for families to access the information they need in one place.

Sendiass offers free and impartial information, advice, and support to parents, carers, children and young people in Oxfordshire who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). They guide you through matters such as school progress concerns, Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCPs), exclusions, and transitions to post‑16 education. With friendly advisers, clear resources, and practical help, they’re a trusted go‑to for families navigating the SEND journey.

The Autism Family Support Oxfordshire charity offers vital support to children and young people (ages 0‑25) with autism and their families across Oxfordshire.  They provide a range of services including information and advice for parents and carers, fun youth groups and holiday activities for young people on the spectrum, and training/workshops for both families and professionals. AFSO’s caring, inclusive approach means children and young people have opportunities to socialise, build confidence, and feel understood, while families are connected with help, resources and a supportive community.
