Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At Castleford Park Junior Academy, we are committed to providing every pupil with a high-quality education tailored to their individual needs. Our approach is guided by the principle of “Know Who, Know How”, ensuring that our staff understand each pupil’s requirements and possess the skills to deliver effective, adaptive and responsive teaching.

We believe that real inclusion is seamless: support is integrated into everyday classroom practice, allowing all pupils to engage fully with lessons and academy life.

Our SEND provision is led by our SENCo, Miss C Bennett, who works closely with staff to ensure every pupil receives the support they need to thrive. To contact the SENCo, please email info@cpja.castlefordtrust.co.uk or visit our Contact Us page.
