At Catsfield Church of England Primary School we we work within The Matrix as set out by East Sussex. The Matrix provides a shared understanding of how to identify Special Educational Needs as well as guidance on provision and resources to meet those needs.
The matrix can be found using the link below:

Useful Contacts
We strive to provide the best possible provision for the children in our school and would always encourage parents to come and talk to us. The first port of call would usually be your child's class teacher who will seek guidance from our SENCO. You can of course request a meeting with the SENCO through the school office.
There are times when when further help, support or guidance is needed and you will find some useful links below.
