The Government has asked all Local Authorities in the UK to publish, in one place, information about the services and provision they expect to be available in their area for children and young people from 0 to 25 who have Special Educational Needs and/or a Disability (SEND).
This is known as the Local Offer. Further information about the Local Offer can be found on the www.leedslocaloffer.org.uk website.
Since government reforms in 2014, there are now 4 areas of need for SEND children. These are:
In September 2024, we had 39 children on the SEND register. These children are broken down into the areas of need as below:
| Cognition and Learning | 9 children |
| Communication and Interaction | 25 children |
| Social, Emotional and Mental Health | 2 children |
| Deaf and Hearing Impaired | 2 children |
| Medical Need | 1 child |
Our SEND governor is Hilary Kitching. Our school SENCO is Mrs Percival.
If you would like to make an appointment with Mrs Percival then please phone the school office or contact us via office@whinmmorstpauls.co.uk
Schools also have to publish a SEND Information Report on their website. This will provide details about how we implement our policy for children and young people with SEND.
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.

Early Help is an additional support which is offered to all of our pupils and families. As a school, we work alongside our local Seacroft and Manston cluster to provide a variety of services for our families who may be facing various difficulties.
The purpose of Early Help is to support the well-being of children and families by tackling emerging needs at the earliest opportunity and prevent them from getting worse. This means working with you to identify any support you may need and to help you gain access to additional services that can promote positive outcomes.
Effective Early Help may be delivered at any point in your child’s life about any issue which is impacting or could affect their development and well-being, including education and health. You can find out more information by clicking here
