CtS is an aspirational and inclusive community committed to nurturing the unique gifts of every child. Strong SEND leadership, clear routines and a carefully sequenced, inclusive curriculum have enabled the school to respond effectively to change. A substantial rise in the number of pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans—an increase of approximately 200% over five years—has required strategic adjustments to staffing, professional training, specialist resources and the physical learning environment. The school has strengthened partnership working with Ealing specialist settings and alternative provision, including successful dual-placement arrangements for some pupils. Leadership has also prioritised medical and pastoral safety through the appointment of two school welfare assistants, a dramatherapist, and specialist teaching assistants, ensuring effective support for pupils with complex health needs and providing reassurance for families. 

Our provision has been further strengthened through robust identification, assessment and targeted support systems that reduce barriers to learning for all pupils. Strong transition processes, including communication passports, home visits and detailed handovers, ensure staff understand individual needs from the outset, particularly for pupils with SEND or those with EHCPs. Staff awareness has increased through CPD, data analysis and regular pupil progress reviews, enabling aspirational target setting supported by Small Step Plans and individual Pupil Premium plans. Inclusive environments are reinforced through environmental audits, sensory and behaviour plans, monitored sensory provision and improved playtime routines.

Support at home

We have introduced regular parent coffee mornings on a wide range of topics to support parents and share inclusive practice. These sessions are led by school staff or other educational professionals such as our occupational therapist, speech and language therapists or our educational psychologist.

Inclusion Team

Everyone at Christ the Saviour is part of the inclusion team. Support starts in the classroom, playground and lunch hall where staff adapt the learning environment and learning journey to meet the needs of each child.
