At St Lucy’s we view education as a collaborative approach and we will work towards your child’s goals, and any possible transitions to mainstream schools if that is an option for your child. To assist we will have bi-annual meetings to develop individual goals for students which form the priority for their learning. Progress on these goals is monitored through careful and detailed assessment and is reported twice yearly in school reports.

Does St Lucy’s provide all the therapy my child needs?
At St Lucy’s School we offer a number of in-house therapy services to make sure that we can overcome barriers for our students accessing the curriculum.
The services provided do not aim to replace private therapists who are already working with our students. The focus is on facilitating success at school, and most of the work is alongside teaching staff to work with students as part of their normal school day.
