SEND

The Holy Cross School is a mainstream Catholic girls’ secondary school.  All students, irrespective of ability, are offered a broad and balanced curriculum which can be personalised to meet specific needs. We aim to enable and encourage all students, who are of equal worth and dignity, to develop their spiritual, academic and social abilities to the full.

We aim to ensure that our students fully benefit from the opportunities available to them, growing into mature, compassionate individuals capable of successfully transitioning into adulthood, whether through further or higher education, training, or employment.

The Holy Cross School will adhere to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (0 to 25 years), following the statutory guidance to support and work with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
